Since 2008, Dr. Bonomi and her team have studied the telephone conversations of detained domestic violence perpetrators and their victims to answer questions about 1) how victims arrive at their decision to recant and/or refuse prosecution efforts; and 2) other interpersonal processes that serve to maintain violent relationships. From 2002-present, Dr. Bonomi has also conducted studies on the prevalence of domestic violence and teen dating violence and the long-term health consequences associated with these abuse types.
