Dating violence, which is considered as a type of interpersonal violence, is defined as the use of physical, verbal or emotional violence to each other in the relationship and imposing social restrictions on their behavior. The aim of this article is to determine the risk factors that increase the severity of dating violence, which is a common problem nowadays, to investigate its effects and the effectiveness of the protection programs. For this purpose, Google Scholar, PsycArticles and PsycInfo databases were searched. Research shows that dating violence is affected by many different risk factors such as alcohol use, past domestic violence and peer interactions. Although dating violence is seen in both sexes, it is seen that women are more victims than men. This may have negative physical, psychological and social effects such as anxiety, depression, suicide risk, substance and alcohol use, and low self-esteem. When the effectiveness of the programs developed to prevent dating violence and protect the victims were examined, significant differences were found between the intervention groups and the control groups.
