    Frances Marie Pugh is a member of the Class of 2020 of Washington and Lee University.
     
    Through this analysis, I seek to examine past and current efforts at statutory reform that characterize children's exposure to domestic violence as a form of child abuse or neglect. This may take the form of expanding a codified definition of child maltreatment, or simply informal policies and practices of an agency. I evaluate the soundness of these various child protection strategies from theoretical and practical standpoints, culminating in a recommendation of the policy initiatives that are most likely to achieve the stated goals while minimizing unintended negative consequences.
