Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This Article focuses on a topic that, though frequently discussed, has been dismissed in the domestic violence discourse - forgiveness.

The article concludes that exploration and embrace of models that address forgiveness and reconciliation are overdue and would contribute greatly to practice and discourse on domestic violence.
