Eradicating Domestic Violence in the African American Community

A Literature Review and Action Agenda

TRICIA B. BENT-GOODLEY

Howard University School of Social Work

Though all cultural, religious, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic groups experience domestic violence, people of color continue to be largely ignored in domestic violence literature. African Americans sustain serious and lethal injuries as a result of domestic violence. Domestic violence poses a grave threat to the preservation of African American families and communities. In an effort to create an agenda for further discussion, this article provides a critical analysis of the current literature on domestic violence in the African American community, identifies gaps in knowledge, and discusses an action agenda to help eradicate domestic violence.

Key Words: African Americans • domestic violence • intimate partner abuse
