Notes:	Challenging the assumptions that violence ends when a victims leaves her abuser, and that once a victim has left they do not return, this article outlines the methodology and results of a [US] study aimed at examining the consequences, in terms of subsequent violence, of returning to an abusive partner. Characteristics of those who return and their reasons for doing so are explored and it is suggested that those who leave temporarily suffer more severe forms and levels of violence upon their return than those who never leave. Some of the policy implications of these findings are addressed and suggestions for future research are made.
