TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Still a Movement After All These Years? Current Tensions in the Domestic Violence Movement JO - Violence against women A1 - Lehrner, Amy A1 - Allen, Nicole E. SP - 656 EP - 677 VL - 15 IS - 6 N2 - The domestic violence movement began as a social change movement with dual goals of social change and service provision. Despite concerns about a devolution of the movement into apolitical service provision, few studies have investigated the current status of the movement as a social change movement. Through interviews with advocates, the current study explores the degree to which domestic violence work can still be characterized as a social change movement, illuminates some central tensions within the movement, and lays a foundation for debate among those responding to domestic violence. This research also highlights movement leaders' visions for a reenergized movement.
