Andrea J. Nicholas, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, completed a study that compared the Survivor-Defined approach and the Social Change Approach to victim advocacy and how advocates view no-drop prosecution. Nicholas seems to hold a feminist perspective but does not show a bias as to which perspective she prescribes to Survivor-Defined theory or Social Change theory, by describing the value and of each as it relates to the field of intimate partner violence (IPV). The article relates to the social asset of community development because it discusses no drop prosecution and how it affects survivors of IPV. This greatly impacts women, their families and the communities in which these women live.

Their article relates to the physical aspect of community development because it discussed the impact that housing has for pregnant women and in turn their families and the health of the communities in which they reside. The results of the pilot program indicate that housing is indeed essential to the decrease in stress and increase in positive outcomes for both mothers and their children. There is also a need to address women’s trauma along with hardships and stress. The authors state that “..to achieve equality in birth outcomes we must take on inequality in the lives of women and families.” While this is difficult the pilot program they discuss seems to be making small steps to do just that. The authors includes tables showing demographics of the women in the pilot program, physical and mental health assessments and a detailed a chart explained the process of pilot program This article is printed in the Maternal and Child Health Journal that targets professionals and scholars in the field of maternal and pediatric
