The organization, Emerge, has a tremendous amount of resources and curricula about violence and DV. Their theory and practice is located within feminism in that they look at the big picture of how violence operates within the culture as a form of power brokering and power-abuse. You could absolutely get a hold of them and they would be happy to fill in some of the resources on this end of the spectrum.

I get two papers every day,and clip anything that has to do with women and violence, also, now, men and violence, since men and women react the same way, physiologically. I avoid "isms." because I find usually that hacking my way through the jungle alone gets me where I want to go, but I thought, why cut off a potential avenue, so I asked about feminist literature. On the martial arts--I have done this. Remember when girls getting raped at the Airforce Academy was news? There was a pathetic response, I felt, that dwelt on better reporting procedures. A Better response would be to teach women martial arts as a part of basic training. Also, teach them not to drink (Yes they will, anyway.). Women should be prepared, it's a tough world out there. I don't know how to think about prison offenders. I worked in a school once where the undercurrent of violence you could cut with a knife. I do know that unless a person takes responsibility for what they have done, there is no way to "normal." Andrea
