Abstract:
This fact sheet compiles statistics on dating violence among teens (youth between the ages of 11 and 19 years old), citing sources published between 2003 and 2012. It reviews basic statistics on prevalence of violence among younger teens (or “tweens”, who are aged 11-14) and among older teens. It also summarizes study findings on parental knowledge of teen dating violence and how often parents and teens discuss abuse in relationships. (CVRL Abstract)
