- Summary:
- Family violence occurs in the U.S. military as it does in the civilian population, but unique stresses of military life may contribute to the risk of child abuse or neglect (CAN) and domestic abuse (DA) among service members. The Department of Defense (DoD) holds itself accountable for preventing and addressing CAN and DA and does so primarily through the congressionally mandated Family Advocacy Program (FAP), and also in coordination with other military and civilian services. At the request of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, RAND conducted a multimethod study to review current resources available to military-affiliated victims and perpetrators of CAN and DA, describe the barriers to utilization, document the challenges faced by military service providers working to prevent and respond to CAN and DA, and provide recommendations to improve services. Surveys and interviews with FAP leadership and providers suggest that FAP offers a wide range of important services to military-affiliated families. However, additional targeted resources and stronger leadership support could improve the program, particularly in improving the balance between prevention and response.
