Abstract: To further the understanding of intimate partner violence among African Americans, Vera collaborated with the Institute on Domestic Violence in the African American Community to examine community perceptions of domestic violence by conducting community assessments in nine cities with high African American concentrations. The first report of the series, the San Francisco/Oakland community assessment, draws on unprecedented conversations with a diverse range of African American community leaders. African American communities are serving as a catalyst for change on issues of domestic violence, and this report contains their recommendations for practitioners, policy makers and researchers on addressing domestic violence.
