How Do Social Service Providers View Recent Immigrants? Perspectives from Portland, Maine, and Olympia, Washington
This article explores how social service providers in two small, geographically distinct cities-Portland, Maine, and Olympia, Washington-understand the importance of welcoming and incorporating new immigrants in their cities.

Moderating the Effects of Childhood Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence: The Roles of Parenting Characteristics and Adolescent Peer Support
We investigate parenting characteristics and adolescent peer support as potential moderators of the effects of childhood exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) on adolescent outcomes. Lehigh Longitudinal Study (N=416) data include parent and adolescent reports of childhood IPV exposure. Exposure to IPV predicted nearly all adverse outcomes examined, however after accounting for co-occurring child abuse and early child behavior problems, IPV …
