Abstract

This article analyzes survey data from ninety-four North American community mediation centers regarding their policies and practices for identifying and managing cases that include a history of domestic violence. We report the rate at which community mediation centers formally screen for cases with a history of domestic violence and the extent to which they mandate domestic violence training for their staff and mediators. We also examine the differences in screening and training related to the differences among the centers' policies for accepting cases with a history of domestic violence.
