The Perils of Young Romance: Relationship Violence Among Young Adult Couples

Relationship violence is linked with a host of negative outcomes for women and men. Child Trends' latest research brief, Relationship Violence Among Young Adult Couples, used data collected in 2001 from both women and men to examine physical relationship violence and threats of physical violence among heterosexual young adult couples in the U.S. Specifically, our researchers analyzed reports from both partners in married, cohabiting, and longer-term dating relationships to identify relationship characteristics that are linked to violence among young adults.
