Availability of Family Violence Services for Military Service Members and Their Families : RAND Corporation , 2019
From the preface: "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 for child abuse and neglect and domestic abuse among service members. Multiple deployments, family separation and reintegration, combat-related brain injuries, frequent relocations, financial strains, higher rates of substance abuse, and military cultural norms around authority and hierarchy may all contribute to child abuse and neglect and domestic abuse among service members. Moreover, there are multiple circumstances that may inhibit reporting and prevent victims and perpetrators from seeking help for child abuse and neglect and domestic abuse, including potential reduction in rank; limitations in promotion; loss of income, housing, insurance, and retirement benefits; community stigma or disbelief; and fear of retribution from a dangerous partner."
