Back Cover SECTION I Conference Chair Welcome & General Conference Information Welcome to the 2016 International Family Violence and Child Victimization Research Conference July 10-12, 2016 Sheraton Harborside Hotel & Conference Center Portsmouth, New Hampshire Dear Colleagues, We are so glad that you are able to join us for this year’s conference. As most of you will know, this year we are also gathering to celebrate the memory of Murray Straus, one of the founders of this conference and one of the giants in the field of violence research. Murray was perhaps the single person most responsible for the creation of this community of violence researchers that means so much to all of us. The community is truly thriving. For the third consecutive conference, we had a record number of submissions and are delighted to welcome more than 350 of you to this year's gathering. Thanks to you, we are again able to offer what we believe is a truly outstanding program. As we have since the inception of the conference in the 1980s, we feature many papers on multiple forms of family violence, including intimate partner violence, child abuse and neglect. We have sessions on polyvictimization and other forms of co-occurrence among different types of violence. As our community has grown, the scope has likewise grown, and we again have talks on a very wide variety of violence types, including on peer harassment, youth offending, “sextortion,” sexual violence, Internet victimization, sibling violence, and links to other problems such as HIV. We have many papers on prevention, intervention, and trauma-informed care. This year we are pleased to have an especially large number of sessions on resilience and protective factors. As always, we are glad to have presenters from many countries and disciplines represented. We hope there is something for everyone. One hallmark of this conference from the very beginning has been a belief that the chance for fellowship among our peers is also one of the most valuable opportunities we can provide. We hope you can join us for the memorial service for Murray Straus on Monday evening. We are expecting his family to join us. That service is also open to the public. We continue to believe in the importance of breaking bread together and we will again have a reception after the opening as well as other informal opportunities to interact. As some of you know, we have been experimenting with new conference formats, and this year we are continuing the 20X20 sessions and pre-poster data blitz. We have also added a post-conference event, ResilienceCon, that will allow for further interaction and a chance to learn new group facilitation techniques as well as focus on the topic of resilience. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay with us more enjoyable. We hope you have an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating conference. We dedicate this conference to the memory of Murray Straus. Warm regards, David Finkelhor and Sherry Hamby Conference Chairs I-1 Thanks to Our Wonderful Staff & Colleagues We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who is involved in making this conference a success. At the top of this list is our dedicated administrative colleagues at the Family Research Laboratory and Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. We are truly fortunate to have shared this work with them for so many years and want to acknowledge how much their commitment to reducing the burden of violence through science makes possible the work we do. They have unparalleled knowledge about the violence research world and about our community of scholars and practitioners. The International Family Violence and Child Victimization Research Conference is only one of many examples of their dedication and ability. This conference would not be possible without their efforts. Melissa Hurd, our returning conference administrator, remains the foundation of this conference. There is no aspect of this meeting that does not receive her careful attention and no element that does not reflect her passion for creating the hospitable setting that we all enjoy. We are continually impressed by her encyclopedic memory of the people we are pleased to greet every year and knowledge of the tasks that must happen in order to bring this event together. Toby Ball, our program administrator for the Family Research Lab and Crimes Against Children Research Center, ensures that we stay on top of our budget and all the many contracts happen as they should. (He is always glad to be asked about his novels too!) Doreen Cole is our workshop and special events coordinator who also has shown extraordinary commitment over the years. This year, she has been especially central to the planning of the memorial service for Professor Straus. It is hard to believe that all three of them have been associated with the FRL for more than 20 years. Lauren Bartlett, senior conference coordinator, is also returning to her role and is perhaps second only to Melissa in her familiarity with the ins and outs of every detail of conference programming. She is also a delight to work with and has become someone we rely upon extensively. Steve Stout and Scott Drolet, our information technology coordinators, continue to provide us with the latest technology and, even more importantly, the patience to explain the technology as needed and ensure that all the different pieces work together as they should. We would also like to thank Katie Tefft, who have returned for another year to assist with our continuing education credits and cheerfully pitch in when needed. Thank you as well to Bryce Paradise, Morgan Proulx, and Sarah Galvin for assisting this year. We also extend our thanks to the researchers at the Family Research Laboratory and Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, and current and former alums of the Life Paths Appalachian Research Center for assisting in the review of conference submissions. We are also grateful for our longstanding partnership with Bob Geffner and the Institute on Violence, Abuse & Trauma for providing Continuing Education credits. Finally, we would like to thank Susan Middleton, Dan Witham, Garth Lyndes, and the rest of the staff of the Sheraton Harborside Hotel & Conference Center for all their efforts. They are incredibly supportive as we come and essentially take over their hotel for the duration of the conference and we are delighted to once again partake of their hospitality and enjoy their beautiful setting. The entire conference team also wishes to express our appreciation to all those who will participate in this year's conference. This conference remains one of our most enjoyable professional activities. As we say goodbye to one of the founders of this conference, Murray Straus, we are reminded more than ever of the importance of the larger scientific community. We cherish these days of fellowship and hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.
