Notes:	General Overview: This Canadian handbook is aimed at juvenile justice workers and provides information to assist in identifying and responding to youth who have experienced and/or perpetrated domestic violence. Discussion: The handbook provides definitions of domestic and family violence and information about its prevalence. A high proportion of those brought before juvenile justice courts have been direct victims, indirect victims or perpetrators of domestic violence. The negative impacts of experiencing domestic violence, such as behavioural difficulties and stress reactions, are outlined. Suggestions for responding to disclosures, including reporting to child protection services, are included. Risk assessment and safety planning are also discussed. The handbook concludes with a brief report on some promising strategies for dealing with adolescents who use violence.
