abstract="This article introduces the first part of a two-part special issue featuring new directions in research on adolescent dating violence. The articles in this issue cohere around the theme of contextual factors that increase the risk of intimate partner aggression in the teenage years. Contextual factors of focus by the contributors to this issue include exposure to violence in the media, ethnic diversity, gender dynamics, affective meaning, and psychiatric institutionalization. Taken together, the work presented in this special issue helps to shed new light on the “dark side of courtship” (Lloyd & Emery, 2000) and to broaden our understanding of the contexts that increase the risk of adolescent dating aggression.<p />",
