In addition to national research on batterer's perceptions of their children's exposure to their violence, David has developed a series of public awareness and outreach posters designed to shift cultural attitudes about domestic violence. He has written a forty-hour curriculum, entitled Dedication, which is being used to train all new batterer intervention providers in Texas.
