Community Readiness A Promising Tool for Domestic Violence Prevention Programs in the Korean Community / [electronic resource] : Meekyung Han Student MSW, PhD. - pp. 55-69.

This paper explores domestic violence in the Korean community and the importance of community readiness for a promising implementation of prevention programs. Community readiness is the extent to which a community is adequately prepared to implement a domestic violence program. A prevention program should address not only the scope of domestic violence itself but also the relevant cultural aspects of the population segments being targeted for the prevention efforts. In order to make a domestic violence prevention program work, practitioners have to acknowledge that the community must have the support and commitment of its members along with resources to implement an effective prevention effort.
