Contributions grew out of a project designed to educate US social workers about the interrelatedness of violence and development, and to foster partnerships between schools of social work and NASW chapters. Their authors highlight home-grown strategies to address violence so that social workers can learn about what works and why. They also make clear social work's and NASW's appreciation for the increasingly cross-border nature of the systemic problems that give rise to violence by expanding the search for solutions to our social problems beyond US borders.
