From the Editor From the Editor by Greg J. Duncan Welcome to the third issue of NU Policy Research.
Domestic violence is the subject of our first article.
Susan Lloyd summarizes her research, based on both survey and qualitative interviews, on the links between domestic violence and women's employment. How schools react to the imposition of the progressive Comer school reform package is described by Charles Payne. Surprisingly, the reaction of teachers can be decidedly negative and, if widespread, can poison the effects of the intended reforms. Payne documents how this happens in Chicago schools. In the third article, two of my colleagues and I provide estimates of how many families are likely to run up against welfare reform time limits.
