Interparental_Violence_And_Its_Link_To_Adult_Family_Violence

Interparental Violence And Its Link To Adult Family Violence Domestic violence is a prevalent problem in today’s society. While it is easy to see what impact it has on the actual victim, it is oftentimes difficult to see the effect it has on children witnessing these acts of violence. Research done in the field of domestic violence suggests that children (under the age of 19) exposed to domestic violence grow up to either become abusers or to become victims of spousal abuse. The researcher will be studying domestic violence because she wants to know if (and how) exposure to domestic violence as a child leads to that child being an abuser as an adult. This is an important study because if the implications of the exposure to domestic violence can be understood, programs can be implemented to reduce and maybe even eliminate the cycle of violence. While most research covers children who were actually abused themselves and the implications of that abuse, this study will look at the effects that exposure to domestic violence has. The researcher wants to look at how seeing the violence, while not actually being the victim of violence, affects that child as they grow up and have their own relationships. violence, domestic, child, abuse, children, exposure, adult, research, risk, abuser, study, family, help, being, witnessing, victim, been, researcher, factors, between, becoming, programs, partner, look, life, either, witnessed, while, whether, thus, survey, journal, home, exposed, effects
