Childhood Exposure to Domestic Violence

Morbidity is about 8 million physical or sexual abuse to women each year, while the United States has committed 9 million aggressive acts against men (Edleson, Ellerton, Seagren, Kirchberg, Schmidt & Ambrose , 2007). Many of these incidents occur in front of children and make these numbers more troubling (Evans, Davies & DiLillo, 2008). Studies have shown that 40.2% of US abused women in national surveys show that children have witnessed more than one abuse (Edleson et al., 2007).

In a longitudinal, meta-analytic and population-based study, family exposure to children and domestic violence are always related to future crimes. However, there is debate as to whether domestic violence and single exposure to domestic violence are factors of future violence. Not all children who are victims of abuse and domestic violence become perpetrators or victims (Similarly, not all perpetrators have history of child violence or abuse). (Casey, Beadnell, & Lindhorst, 2009). Relevant research participants tend to experience childhood characterized by several risk factors (socio-economic disadvantage, parent mental illness, parent substance abuse, child abuse etc.) (Fergusson, Boden, & Horwood, 2006; Fulu et al., 2013; Higgins, 2004; Temple et al., 2013)
