Abstract

[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported online in Psychology of Violence on Aug 5 2013 (see record 2013-28017-001). The name of one of the authors of the featured articles was misspelled throughout the text and in Table 1. Miloski, R. should have been Milloshi, R. In addition, the middle initial of Carlos Cuevas was missing, and there was an error in the title and ending page number. The correct reference is the following: Cuevas, C. A., Sabina, C., & Milloshi, R. (2012). Interpersonal victimization among a national sample of Latino women. Violence Against Women, 18, 377–403.] Following on a similar effort last year, five senior researchers have each selected two articles that they believe represent the best violence research published in 2012 and, like members of the panel that selected 2011 articles, once again provide comments about how they each approached this large task. In tandem with the results of last year’s panel, the result provides some insight into how senior scholars stay abreast of key findings in the field of violence. The 10 selected articles, published in eight different outlets, include several national surveillance efforts, including one economic analysis; several that focus on ethnically and culturally diverse communities; and two on prevention and two on the challenges of clinical interviewing. They provide a snapshot of the issues, challenges, and achievements of the field today. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)
