Trauma, Violence, & Abuse
Trauma, Violence, & Abuse (TVA), peer-reviewed and published five times per year, is a review journal devoted to organizing, synthesizing, and expanding knowledge on all forms of trauma, abuse, and violence. Dedicated to professionals and advanced students, TVA is intended to compile knowledge that clearly affects practice, policy, and research. Reviewed literatures may come from the social or behavioral sciences or the law.
A practitioner-oriented journal, TVA publishes review manuscripts that cover a body of empirical research and legal analyses, including briefs, which are based on research, laws, and case outcomes. Reviews must be based on a sufficient body of research or legal findings to warrant a review.
Trauma, Violence, & Abuse (TVA) is devoted to organizing, synthesizing, and expanding knowledge on all forms of trauma, abuse, and violence. This peer-reviewed, online journal is practitioner oriented and will publish only reviews of research and law review articles. TVA is dedicated to professionals and advanced students who work with any form of trauma, abuse, and violence. It is intended to compile knowledge that clearly affects practice, policy, and research.
TVA publishes reviews of research studies. We also publish legal analyses, which include reviews of case outcomes, laws, or the research upon which the analyses are based. Reviews must be based on a sufficient number of studies to justify synthesis. Reviewed literatures may come from the social or behavioral sciences or the law.
Reviews of issues related to trauma, violence, and/or abuse are not appropriate unless they are based on a comprehensive review of research. TVA does not publish case studies or reports on individual research studies.
