Family Poly-victimization: An Emerging Perspective of Inquiry and its Implications to Prevent Violence

University of Hong Kong professor Dr. Edward Chan will discuss his recent study of child victimization, in which he examines the co-occurring forms of family violence, including elder abuse and child victimization. Major findings of family poly-victimization will be discussed, which warrant the importance of screening for multiple types of violence and integrative familial approach of violence prevention.

Chan, a Fulbright scholar, is an associate professor in the University of Hong Kong's Department of Social Work & Social Administration.

Lunch will be provided.
