According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, young women aged 16-24 are more vulnerable to intimate partner violence than any other age group.2  \nOn March 5, 2007, a Cleveland teen, Johanna Orozco, then 18, was shot in the face at close range by her ex-boyfriend. Her attacker, 17 year-old Juan Ruiz, shot Johanna after she had accused him of raping and stalking her. Juan Ruiz was sentenced to 27 years in prison. Johanna survived the attack and is now a university student and a recognized advocate for teen dating violence advocacy and prevention, lobbying in the Ohio legislature for improved laws to protect victims of teen dating violence.  \nWhile particularly tragic cases are often highlighted in the media, such as the Johanna Orozco case in Cleveland, these are merely examples of a more widespread problem of violence and abuse in adolescent relationships. This abuse has serious immediate consequences for teens and has also been linked to a pattern of violence which may lead to intimate partner violence in adulthood. Less attention has been given to the amount and nature of all forms of violence both experienced and committed by teen girls compared to adult domestic violence; however, research and practice have begun to focus more on this important social problem.  \nTHE SCHUBERT CENTER FOR CHILD STUDIES in the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University bridges research, practice, policy and education for the well-being of children and adolescents. Our focus is on children from infancy through adolescence in local, national, international and global settings.  \nJill E. Korbin, Ph. D.
