Alderson, Susan. "An investigation into the impact of domestic violence perpetrator programmes on children and young people." Thesis, Durham University, 2015. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11277/.
Full textAbstract:
As men’s intersecting identities as fathers and as perpetrators of domestic violence is increasingly acknowledged in research and practice, the issue of safe parenting has gained heightened attention on the social work agenda. Alongside this, domestic violence perpetrator programmes (DVPPs) in the UK have incorporated the issue of children’s safety and the harmful parenting of domestically violent fathers within their programme content. However, there is a lack of research on DVPPs that take into account the views of children and the outcomes for them of their father’s engagement in the programme. This thesis contributes to the literature on domestic violence and children in two ways; it closes the gap on outcomes for children of their fathers participation on a DVPP, and presents a new way of gathering data from children. While there was some reference in the literature to using task based methods as inquiry, this was quite general. A multi-methodological multi-stage approach was taken to explore how a positive outcome for children might be conceptualised. This consisted of thirteen interviews with children using a bespoke child friendly task-based research tool (research book), eleven interviews with DVPP workers, observation of a DVPP session on children and young people, and an online survey of forty-four Respect member domestic violence integrated services. Key findings reveal that despite a desire to improve the situation of children very few organisations provide a direct support service to the children of men on programmes. Findings also reveal that one of the barriers to children moving on is the silence regarding their father’s participation on a DVPP, and that few children are informed of their father’s engagement on a programme. DVPP workers also reveal that the specific work undertaken on the issue of parenting within programme content is beginning to close a gap in provision by addressing child-centred fathering while simultaneously addressing men’s use of violence. Findings suggest that for domestically violent fathers, these sessions enhance their awareness of the impact of their violence and also function as a means for men to improve their relationship with their children and to become a ‘better father’. Children’s interview data substantiate these findings with children reporting through the task based research book, their positive thoughts and feelings about their father’s participation on a DVPP. This thesis describes how, and to what extent children themselves benefit, providing a unique perspective regarding the nature scope and adequacy of domestic violence services and the outcomes for children.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Alla barn borde få växa upp i ett tryggt hem med omsorgsfulla föräldrar men tyvärr är det inte alla barn som får göra det. Trots de skyddsnät och de rättigheter som finns till barns fördel finns det barn som utsätts för våld. Våldet som de utsätts för kan vara fysiskt, psykiskt eller sexuellt. Våldet påverkar barnen negativt både på kort och lång sikt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa barns egna upplevelser av våld i hemmet. Metod: En litteraturöversikt användes som metod. Sju vetenskapliga artiklar valdes ut efter systematisk litteratursökning och kvalitetsgranskades. Artiklarnas resultat analyserades och sammanställdes i kategorier. Resultat: Resultatet visar hur barnen upplevde relationen till förövare, mamma eller syskon, vilka känslor som uppstår, samt vad som upplevs hjälpa barnen. Upplevelserna kunde delas in i tre kategorier, flöjt av tre subkategorier. Konklusion: Relationerna såg olika ut beroende på om det var relationen till förövare, mamma eller syskon. Barnen agerade olika beroende på de känslor som de upplevde. Med hjälp av vänner, lek och spel upplevde barnen att de kunde slippa verkligheten för en stundBackground: All children should grow up in a safe home with caring parents but unfortunately, not all children have the possibility. Regardless of the safety nets and the rights that are in the child's favor, there are children who are subjected to violence. The violence can be physical, mental or sexual. The violence affects children negatively both in the short and long term. Aim: The purpose of the study was to illuminate children's own experiences of domestic violence. Method: A literature review was used as a method. Seven scientific articles were selected after a systematic literature search and has been quality review. The articles were analyzed and compiled into categories. Results: The result shows how the children experience their relationship with the perpetrator, and the mother and siblings, which feelings that appear and what the children experienced helped them. The children's experiences were sorted into three separate categories, followed by three subcategories. Conclusion: The relationships looked different depending on whether it was the relationship with the perpetrator, mother or siblings. The children acted differently depending on the feelings they experienced. With the help of friends, play and games, the children felt that they could escape reality for a while.

Full textAbstract:
Volume I is divided into two papers. The first is a literature review that explored the emotional experience of professionals who work with victims of domestic violence. Twelve papers are evaluated and the evidence of negative and positive effects is presented. The second is a qualitative study with young people, their mothers and their grandmothers which explored resilience after domestic violence. Data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Four themes regarding the memories of domestic violence, newfound stability, acceptance and strength and continued and re-scripted attachments were found. Volume II consists of five reports. The first describes the assessment of a 13-year-old boy with low self-esteem. His needs and strengths are formulated from two approaches: cognitive-behavioural and systemic. The next discusses a behavioural intervention and single case experimental design for a 15-year-old male presenting with challenging behaviours. The third paper outlines a Person Centred Care training program for staff working with older adults. The fourth is a case study of two siblings in local authority care. To consider care-plans, a formulation is informed by the complex trauma literature. The final report was an oral presentation of an admission assessment of a young woman in a high secure hospital.

Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, através da análise de quatro casos atendidos em uma unidade de referência da rede de proteção a mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica no município do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados demonstram a persistência de segmentação da rede de atendimento, desfavorecendo a abordagem da família em sua complexidade e dificultando a garantia, concomitante e integrada, dos direitos humanos de mulheres vítimas de violência conjugal e de seus filhos quanto às repercussões destes conflitos como expressão possível de violência psicológica.
The following research aims to discuss repercussions of domestic violence as well as psychological violence against children and adolescents, considering offspring exposure to family dynamics of frequent violence between parents. To do this, a qualitative study was conducted by analyzing four cases in a women s domestic violence treatment unit in Rio de Janeiro. The results demonstrate the continued segmentation of the service network, compromising the complexity of a family approach and making it difficult to guarantee the concurrent and integrated human rights of women domestic violence victims and their children on the impact of these conflicts as possible expressions of psychological violence.

Full textAbstract:
Children who experience trauma due to exposure to domestic violence are at risk of both physical and emotional harm and may exhibit symptoms of trauma that impact their functioning. This raises questions regarding the number of children who do exhibit symptoms and whether child protection workers document these symptoms during the post-investigative stage of service delivery. The present study examines the documentation of child symptoms in a review of 70 files in which children were receiving ongoing child welfare services due to exposure to domestic violence. The results of the file review indicate that children who have been exposed to domestic violence continue to exhibit symptoms during the post-investigative stage. However, there were very few cases in which the child protection worker attributed these symptoms to the trauma the child experienced. Practice implications, including the need for increased training for both trauma and assessment, are discussed.L'exposition des enfants à la violence conjugale constitue une forme de mauvais traitement psychologique, dont certaines manifestations sont reconnues dans les typologies de la maltraitance physique et émotionnel. De plus, ces mêmes enfants évoluent dans un climat violent qui leur occasionne des symptômes reliés au trauma ayant un impact sur leur fonctionnement. Nous nous sommes intéressés à savoir si l'intervenant qui mène une évaluation en protection de la jeunesse tient compte de ces symptômes à la conclusion de son enquête et fait le lien au trauma. Cette recherche dépouille au-delà de 70 dossiers d'enfants exposés à la violence conjugale et passe en revue la documentation des intervenants cherchant spécifiquement la notation des symptômes et le trauma. La recherche conclut en soulignant d'abord que le trauma persiste chez les enfants suivant une exposition à la violence conjugale et qu'il s'avère souvent difficile pour l'intervenant de reconnaître le lien entre les symptômes manifestés et le trauma. Des pistes d'intervention, incluant la nécessité d'une formation plus approfondie au niveau de l'impact du trauma et de l'évaluation sont également discutées.

La exposición a violencia doméstica es un problema actual y complejo con consecuencias negativas en la salud mental de los niños. Objetivo: responder a las siguientes cuestiones sobre los efectos de la exposición a violencia doméstica en la salud mental de los niños: a) qué debe ser evaluado; b) qué tipo de psicopatología tienen los niños que acuden a centros de salud mental y han estado expuestos a violencia doméstica; c) qué características de la situación de violencia son más importantes a la hora de predecir psicopatología en los niños; y d) qué rol tienen los estilos parentales del padre y de la madre en situaciones de violencia doméstica. Método: se usó un diseño de cohortes retrospectivo; una cohorte estaba formada por madres que consultaban un centro público para mujeres maltratadas y sus hijos, y otra cohorte formada por mujeres no maltratadas y sus hijos. Se aplicaron entrevistas diagnósticas, cuestionarios y auto-registros completados por las madres y sus hijos con el objetivo de valorar el funcionamiento de los niños, psicopatología, variables individuales y familiares. El análisis estadístico incluyó regresiones logísticas, ANOVAs, modelos de ecuaciones estructurales, y ecuaciones generalizadas de estimación. Resultados: Se propone un protocolo de evaluación para niños expuestos a violencia doméstica. Niños que acuden a centros de salud mental y han estado expuestos a violencia doméstica muestran necesidades específicas diferentes a aquellos niños que acuden a consulta pero no han estado expuestos a ello, en relación a la psicopatología, el deterioro funcional, y variables familiares e individuales. Las diferentes características de la violencia doméstica, como el tipo de violencia sufrido por la madre, la proximidad del niño a esta violencia, o las características del agresor, afectan de manera diferencial en la psicopatología del niño y su funcionamiento. Los estilos educativos de la madre median en los efectos de la violencia psicológica hacia la mujer en la psicopatología y funcionamiento del niño, mientras que los estilos educativos del padre no moderan este efecto. Conclusiones: Se deben llevar a cabo esfuerzos para detectar e intervenir en las situaciones de exposición a violencia doméstica para mejorar el bienestar de estos niños.Exposure to domestic violence is a current, complex concern with negative aftermath on the child's mental health. Aim: to answer the following questions about the effects that this exposure has on children's mental health: a) what should be assessed; b) what kind of psychopathology do outpatient exposed children have; c) which characteristics of the situation are more influential; and d) what is the role of parenting styles. Method: A retrospective cohort design was used; one cohort was formed by battered mothers attending to a special center for battered women and their children, and the other was formed by non-battered women and non-exposed children. Diagnostic interviews, self-reports and questionnaires were applied to mothers and children in order to assess child's functioning, psychopathology, individual and family variables. Logistic regression, ANOVAs, structural equation models, and generalized estimating equations were used for the statistical analysis. Results: An assessment schedule for children exposed to domestic violence is suggested. Outpatient children exposed to domestic violence had specific needs compared with non-exposed outpatients, regarding psychopathology, functional impairment, family and individual variables. Characteristics of the violence, as the type of violence against the mother or the child, the degree of involvement of the child, or the aggressor's characteristics, affected differentially on the child's psychopathology and functioning. Maternal parenting mediated the effects of psychological abuse against the mother on the child's wellbeing, whereas father's parenting did not moderate these effects. Conclusions: Efforts in order to detect and intervene in domestic violence situations should be made in order to improve the child's well-being.

Magister Legum - LLMIn a country in which human rights feature prominently in our discourse about who we are, as well as in the South African constitutional and legal framework, so many wrongs continue to be perpetrated on women and children. However, children seem to be particularly affected by domestic violence, either physically, emotionally or socially. In order to adequately address these diverse experiences and understand what children say, an in-depth investigation into how children experience domestic violence, and what their views are, is required. The study will focus on those children who had been affected emotionally and socially in their homes. This study will make an attempt to expand on how children experience domestic violence, what the general reaction of a selected group of children, who have observed domestic violence, is and what their views of domestic violence are. Attention was given to the relevant literature as well to legislative and policy frameworks. The study employed a qualitative research method in order to obtain in-depth data from the children. Children were selected from three schools in a small Northern Cape town, which participated in the study and the schools were grouped as follows: one school from each area, which are Nonzwakazi, Sunrise and De Aar (town). Each high school had five participants. The participants‟ ages were between 12 and 17. All the participants reside at De Aar which is situated in Prixley kaSeme District about 300 kilometres from Kimberley, Northern Cape Province. Data was coded according to the themes that emerged from the study and were analysed. The results indicated that children are able to share their experiences when given the opportunity. It is further shown in the results that children view domestic violence as a wrong and that men are the sole abusers. It further indicated that children do not have confidence in the courts; they are of the view that the courts are being too lenient on the abusers and they further said that more protection orders should be issued in order to prevent domestic violence. They blame this on non-responsiveness of the police when they are called and the kind of punishments the courts impose when the abuser is brought before court.The majority of children expressed their wish to see justice being done. The study found that children are of the view that there is little support from the police and the courts. The study concluded that children, acting voluntarily and with appropriate ethical safeguards, can make a significant contribution to both describing their experiences of domestic violence, and to indicating the standard of services and other interventions that they can trust and use.

Domestic violence against children is well known on the social problem aspect, and Sweden has become the first country clarifying its stance on physical punishment and child abuse since established “anti-spanking” law in 1979. The purpose of this research was to investigate how Swedish social workers deal with the issue about domestic violence against children. The research was developed with hermeneutics approach and ecological systems theory, and carried out by four respondents from Social Services Gävle. With the answers claimed by the respondents, constitute the results and conclusions, that is all kinds of tackling methods about child abuse should be regulated by laws, and cooperate with police or citizens comprehensively, especially in the period of investigation. This paper might be a general pattern, but we do hope it could make people rethinking about child abuse issues, that probably may reduce a little bit pressure to children in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Mental health professionals have observed that children who witness interparental violence frequently display either an affrontive, demanding personality style, or a passive, compliant style. The prevalence of these personality types and their relation to identification, stress, and other variables was evaluated in a sample of 40 children (age range = 6 - 12 years old) who have witnessed parental spouse abuse. Children completed the Children's Personality Questionnaire and the Parental Identification Questionnaire. Mothers completed the Life Experiences Survey. Independent ratings of the children's personality were made. The results validated the existence of these two personality styles among both male and female witnesses, and supplied evidence for their relation to paternal identification, familial instability, and parental ineffectualness. The implications of these findings for assessment and intervention are discussed.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROEste estudo trata da construção sócio-histórica da violência intrafamiliar contra criança e adolescente e de como esta foi engendrada no contexto brasileiro. Procuramos apresentar a violência intrafamiliar em sua concretude e o seu impacto avassalador sobre as vítimas, tanto em aspectos objetivos quanto subjetivos. Para isso, procedemos a um levantamento teórico conceitual sobre as questões que envolvem a infância e a adolescência, as políticas e práticas de proteção social. Para apresentar este panorama foi feita uma pesquisa de campo que se debruçou sobre 14.445 prontuários registrados em dez anos de atividade do 1º Conselho Tutelar de Niterói, tendo selecionado os 2.446 relativos às diversas categorias da violência intrafamiliar. Tais informações, reunidas em um Banco de Dados, foram agrupadas de forma a traçar quadros quantitativos e qualitativos sobre o funcionamento do Conselho e outros órgãos de atendimentos à criança e adolescente e delinear um perfil societário dos 14 anos de vigência do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente.
This study focused on the construction of the domestic violence against children and adolescents and how this was generated within the context of the Brazilian culture. We tried to show the domestic violence in its magnitude with its disruptive impact over the victims, both objective and subjective. Thus, we pursued a conceptual research on subjects involving the childhood and adolescence, the policies and practices of social protection. To present this scenario we pursued a field survey which included 14,445 repositories produced within the 10 years of activities of the 1rst Niteroi Tutelary Council. The work was based on 2,446 selected files related to several categories of domestic violence. This information, which was arquived in a database, was grouped in order to obtain quantitative and qualitative data related to the performance of the Council and other sectors to assist children and adolescents. We also wanted to define profiles associated with the 14 years of the Children and Adolescence Ordinance.

Full textAbstract:
Domestic violence is increasingly recognised as a serious social problem that may cause severe negative impact and is a significant risk to children achieving positive outcomes. There has been scant research regarding the role of schools in response to children who have been exposed to domestic violence, yet schools represent many possibilities for supporting them. Head teachers are viewed as of central importance in the creation of effective schools (Ofsted, 2012). Head teacher leadership orientation and decision making has a significant impact on practice within the school. To the author's knowledge there has been no research regarding the role or views of head teachers in relation to children who have been exposed to domestic violence. The aim of this research is to explore head teacher experiences and perceptions of their own and school practices in relation to children who have been exposed to a domestic violence incident (s). A further aim is to consider key factors that influence the head teacher and school responses to supporting children in these circumstances. Five head teachers participated in semi-structured interviews and have all been involved in an initiative (Project Protect) whereby they received training to act as a 'key adult'. This means they receive notifications from the police containing details of a domestic violence (DV) incident (s) that have been police attended where a child was present and attends that head teacher's primary school. A thematic analysis was conducted and two main themes were highlighted that were of central relevance to the research questions; head teacher's understanding of DV and head teacher and school decision making and practice in response to children exposed to DV (CEDV).

Full textAbstract:
Research indicates children's exposure to family violence results in long-term negative consequences, hindering social skill development and impacting on the ability to function as healthy, productive adults. Also, there exists a widely accepted theory, called the 'cycle of violence', which hypothesises that children who have experienced violence at the hands of their parents tend to grow up to become violent parents themselves. Some evidence for this theory has been found following research with groups of abusive parents and people who have committed crimes, This study explores the specific impacts of childhood exposure to family violence on the subsequent mothering of a group of women drawn from the general population. A qualitative approach using a methodology that combined feminist and narrative approaches was used. Nine women who have been exposed to family violence in childhood including physical, emotional/psychological, sexual abuse and witness to violence between parents participated in interviews which explored their experiences of mothering
Each woman was interviewed twice to collect stories of childhood and of mothering experiences. These were analysed revealing that the women's mothering was affected by their childhood exposure to family violence in several ways, ranging from direct emotional impacts to indirect impacts of conceptualisations formed in the light of childhood experiences. This study adds to the existing knowledge of the long-term impacts of childhood exposure to family violence by focussing specifically on subsequent mothering. The findings encourage social work and health care personnel to appreciate that women exposed to family violence in childhood have specific issues with their mothering and there is a need to address these issues. It also challenges the weight given to the cycle of violence theory in intervention and prevention strategies in child abuse and family violence sectors

Full textAbstract:
The co-occurrence of domestic violence (DV) and child maltreatment is high. Response to both problems has historically been via two different systems. However, child protection workers are increasingly asked to respond to this co-occurrence since research has identified that exposure to DV can negatively impact on children and that child maltreatment often co-occurs with DV. This study looks at child protection systems response to families affected by DV by using two research methods. First, a systematic review was conducted using research papers focusing on child protection workers response to families experiencing DV. Second, a critical discourse analysis of current Australian child protection policies was conducted. Findings from the systematic review show that child protection workers' response to abused mothers went from treating them as 'mad' in the 1980s, to labelling them 'failure to protect' in the 1990s and early 2000. These findings showed continued focus on abused mothers rather than on perpetrators of DV. Some contradictions were found around child removal data. However, important links were found between re-notification of children and subsequent removal. Findings from the Australian policy analysis revealed that most policies referred to DV as a child protection issue and used a feminist definition of DV. However, not all states had detailed guidelines on how to intervene safely and effectively with families affected by DV. Discussions and recommendations focus around the pressing need for more DV expertise within child protection systems. It also discusses the issue of responsibility placed on abused mothers while perpetrators of DV remain invisible. Finally, it discusses the response to children exposed to DV compared to the response to children exposed to DV who are also victim of direct child maltreatment. The key recommendations of this study are to have DV expertise within the child protection systems, to empower abused mothers rather than blaming them, which implies putting the responsibility back on the perpetrator of DV and to have resources and systems in place before responding to child exposure to DV as child maltreatment per se.

Full textAbstract:
Children’s perceptions of the fairness of their filial responsibility was examined as a moderator between witnessing domestic violence and behavioral outcomes in children. Hierarchical Multiple Regressions revealed that children’s perceptions of the fairness of their family responsibility influenced the relation between the psychological violence in the household and child reports of internalizing behavior problems. Specifically, higher levels of psychological violence predicted higher levels of internalizing only under perceptions of unfair filial responsibility. In addition, increased levels of reported psychological violence in the household significantly predicted increased levels of mother-reported externalizing problems. Descriptive analyses revealed that for 12 of the 27 families all of the children had very small levels of reported behavior problems, as compared to the rest of the sample. These resilient families had lower level of psychological violence and physical violence in the household than the other families in the sample.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: This thesis had two primary aims. The first aim was to systematically review the literature investigating trauma symptoms in children and adolescents aged five to eighteen years who had been exposed to domestic abuse. The second aim was to complete an empirical study investigating predictors of trauma symptoms and the relational nature of trauma in women and children aged five to eighteen years who had been exposed to domestic abuse. Method: For the first aim, a systematic literature search identified eligible studies that met predefined inclusion criteria. Following data extraction, the studies were rated against methodological quality criteria. For the second aim, using a quantitative, cross-sectional design, 84 women self-reported on experiences of domestic abuse, symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and trauma and their child’s trauma symptoms. Analyses investigated the relationship between exposure to domestic abuse and trauma symptoms, predictors of trauma symptoms and whether maternal trauma symptoms moderated the relationship between exposure to domestic abuse and child trauma symptoms. Results: The systematic review identified 14 studies that were eligible for inclusion. Two studies were rated as high quality, ten as acceptable quality and two as low quality. A consistent relationship between exposure to DA and trauma symptoms in children and adolescents was reported, regardless of study quality. The empirical study found a significant relationship between exposure to physical and psychological abuse and trauma symptoms in children aged five to eighteen years. Maternal trauma symptoms were both significantly correlated with and a significant predictor of child trauma symptoms supporting the relational nature of trauma in this population. The interaction was not significant, indicating that maternal trauma symptoms was not a moderator, and the relationship between domestic abuse and child trauma symptoms was present at low, medium and high levels of maternal trauma symptom severity. Conclusion: Across included studies the systematic review found a consistent but variable prevalence of PTSD and trauma symptoms in children and adolescents exposed to domestic abuse, highlighting the importance of assessment and evidence based intervention in this population. Results should be interpreted whilst taking into account the strengths and limitations of individual studies and the overall review. The majority of children in the research study were experiencing trauma symptom severity within the range of clinical concern. The relational nature of trauma was supported in mothers and children exposed to domestic abuse highlighting that treatment should be family based and delivered concurrently to mothers and their children. Results are discussed and should be interpreted whilst considering the limitations discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines some flaws in the interpretation and application of the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction ('the Hague Convention) and how this has led to the inadequate protection of children against the impact of domestic and family violence. These inadequacies have been identified in the inconsistent interpretation and application of Article 13(1) b) amongst Contracting States. This thesis seeks to address the disparity through a comprehensive analysis of the issues and its root causes, whilst conducting an empirical study with the aim of proposing policy recommendations. The demographics of taking parents shows that the majority of them are primary carer mothers as opposed to non-resident fathers. Added to this, UN global statistics reveal that 30% of women have experienced intimate partner violence and 38% of all murders of women are committed by intimate partners. It is also now recognised that violence and abuse between parents may expose a child to the grave risk of harm. Therefore, domestic violence does not have to be perpetrated on the child directly to suffer harm. The thesis derives its purpose from the conclusions of the Sixth Meeting of the Special Commission that allegations of domestic violence and the risks to the child are not always adequately and promptly examined. The thesis analyses the inconsistencies in the approach by Contracting States towards Article 13 (1) b) in cases involving domestic violence, with a particular focus on case law and the empirical survey that was carried out as a part of this doctoral research. The thesis aims to identify best practices and provide recommendations which it is hoped has influenced the Working Group in the preparation of the draft Guide to Good Practice at the Hague Conference. It is anticipated that the Guide to Good Practice on Article 13 (1) b) will greatly assist judges on measures to improve upon its interpretation and application in cases involving allegations of domestic violence. The underlying rationale is that it is possible to achieve real consistency. Judges need to be aided with a roadmap of the correct approach to analysing the grave risk of harm, whilst addressing evidential and resource issues. It is suggested that the starting point should always be an 'effective examination' of the allegations of domestic violence, rather than first considering protective measure on the basis of an assumption that the allegations are true. An “effective examination” should take place by means of a 'thorough, limited and expeditious' investigation, in line with X v Latvia (Application no. 27853/09) Grand Chamber [2013]. The recommendations put forward in this thesis combine the principle of 'effective examination' and a stronger recognition of the role of the Convention of 19 October 1996 on Jurisdiction, Applicable Law, Recognition, Enforcement and Co-operation in Respect of Parental Responsibility and Measures for the Protection of Children. The objective is to help unify the interpretation and application of Article 13(1) b) in cases concerning domestic violence across Contracting States.

Despite the large number of children and siblings who are exposed to domestic violence, relatively few studies have examined sibling influences on the psychosocial effects of exposure to domestic violence. The aim of this study was to explore the opinions of experienced child and family clinicians on whether, and how, the presence of siblings moderates children’s experiences of domestic violence and any subsequent effects on their development and wellbeing. This study employed an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to analyse interviews with five clinicians. Analysis of the interviews revealed six superordinate themes; one sibling taking on a protective and parental role; polarisation of sibling relationships; factors influencing sibling relationships; the impact on the sibling taking on a parenting or protective role; impact on the sibling being protected; and the importance of individual family context. Overall, the findings from the interviews with the clinicians suggest that in families where children are exposed to domestic violence one child tends to take on a parental role and also attempts to protect their siblings from the violence. These results also emphasise the importance of formulation in understanding the influence of sibling relationships on the psychosocial effects of domestic violence, as there are many different factors which need to be considered. Some implications for clinical practice are discussed and potential future research directions are outlined.

The aim of this qualitative study was to get a deeper understanding of social workers experience that children who participate in the Trappan-insatsen get a sense of coherence. To achieve an empirical material social workers who perform Trappan-samtal have been interviewed. The study shows that it is important that children get help and support to talk about the trauma they experienced. The support of the narrative, however, differ depending on the child's age, it is important to have a flexible approach as a Trappan-user. It appears that it is essential that parents give their consent to the children so they can talk about the violence. It also emerges that information to the children is an important part of understanding the process. The study shows that social workers feel that the children participating in the staircase mission get a sense of coherence.

Background: It is estimated that one in ten children witness domestic violence. It is of importance that children grow up in a safe environment. When they grow up with domestic violence they can lose very important skills which can be hard to gain back. Children respond to domestic violence in different ways depending on their age. Aim: The aim of this study was to enlighten children's experiences of domestic violence in their home. Method: An analysis was made of four quantitative and eight qualitative articles to create this literature review. Result: Four themes emerged in the result; A reckless vulnerableness, Entrenched emotions, A deprived childhood and Need of help and support. All of the themes enlightens in different ways what children experiences when witnessing domestic violence. Conclusion: Children who have been witnesses of domestic violence are in great need of support and help so they are able to the events they have witnessed. When the nurse meet these patients, that possibly have been victims of domestic violence, is it of great importance not to neglect the children who might have been involved. It is important that the nurse who meets the exposed children have an open attitude so the children can speak out about what they have been through

Domestic violence is a serious social problem that represents a cause of vulnerability for children and a risk to them achieving positive outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate the perception of children who have experienced domestic violence. In particular the study sought to examine: what the children identify as important, interesting and special; the issues of significance to them; and how their experiences of domestic violence have affected their perceptions of everyday life. Five children (aged seven to 13) participated in the study. All the children lived in lone-mother families, with two residing in refuges. A combination of participant generated photographs, photo-elicitation interviews and participant observation was used over six sessions with each child, spanning a period of two to four months. The longitudinal approach enabled rapport to develop between the researcher and each child. Data was analysed using interpretative phenomenologicaal nalysis( IPA). All the children perceived family and friends as important sources of support - they created a sense of value and belonging, and promoted the innocence, fun and magic of childhood. Uncertainty, loss and change resulting from domestic violence had varying impact on each child. Of significance was that fathers were omitted from the children's photographs altogether and from much of their conversation. Complexities surrounding the children's understanding of their situations and their ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings were highlighted. Of importance to Educational Psychologists is that children who experience domestic violence need time, space and support to communicate their perceptions and concerns meaningfully. Schools played a vital role in bolstering protective factors to help the children cope with adversity.

Full textAbstract:
Some studies have shown that children who witness domestic violence against a family member or experience physical, emotional, or sexual abuse will often display behavioral risk factors such as increased suicidal ideation. Using social learning as the theoretical basis, this study examined factors that are associated with suicidal ideation in children of domestic violence, such as witnessing domestic violence, experiencing physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and experiencing abuse perpetrated by a parental figure. Results showed that while witnessing domestic violence alone did not affect suicidal ideation, the combination of witnessing domestic violence and being sexually abused was strongly associated with suicidal ideation, as was having a perpetrator who was a stepparent, and having a perpetrator who was a parental figure who threatened suicide and/or homicide. Implications for further research are addressed.

Full textAbstract:
This research examined the link between family conflict and youth aggression in Latino families. Attitudes toward aggression were tested as a mediator of this link, whereas family constellation variables (cohesion, responsibilities, birth order, and gender) were tested as moderators. This model was tested in a longitudinal community sample of 143 youth (study 1) and in a sample of 35 sibling dyads exposed to domestic violence (study 2). Differences between the two studies supported the notion that domestic violence and family conflict are distinct phenomena. For example, fairness did not have any main effects or interaction effects on behavioral outcomes in study 1. However, fairness had a negative association with aggression for oldest siblings in study 2. Future directions are discussed including a call for a developmental-ecological-feminist theory and participatory action research.

EconomicsPh.D.
This dissertation incorporates three essays related to youth’s health and human capital outcomes. The first two essays investigate the impacts of important public policies on adolescents’ mental health and risky behavioral outcomes. Essay three examines the effects of mothers’ non-cognitive skills on children’s home environment qualities and their cognitive and behavioral outcomes. Domestic violence is a large public issue in the United States. Chapter 1 investigates the effectiveness of warrantless arrest laws enacted by states for domestic violence incidents on multiple youth mental and behavioral outcomes. Under these laws, police officers can arrest a suspect without a warrant even if they did not witness the crime. Although young women remain at the highest risk of victimization of domestic violence, children ages 3 to 17 years are also at elevated risk for domestic violence. Further, over 15 million children witness domestic violence in their homes every year in the United States. Exposure to domestic violence is associated with various social, emotional, behavioral, and health-related problems among youth. Using variation in timing of implementation of the arrest laws across states, I utilize differences-in-differences analyses in multiple, large-scale data sets of nationally representative samples of youth population to study the impact of the laws on a number of youth mental and behavioral outcomes. Results indicate the presence of heterogeneity with respect to the impact of states’ arrest laws on the outcomes studied. The study is useful for policymakers as it provides important evidence on the effectiveness of state measures designed to reduce domestic violence. The estimates obtained in the analyses are robust to multiple sensitivity checks to address key threats to identification. Chapter 2 empirically examines the effects of state cyberbullying laws on youth outcomes with respect to measures of school violence, mental health, and substance use behavior. Electronic form of harassment or cyberbullying is a large social, health, and education issue in the United States. In response to cyberbullying, most state governments have enacted electronic harassment or cyberbullying law as a part of their bullying prevention law. The analysis uses variation in the timing of implementation of cyberbullying laws across states as an exogenous source of variation. Using nationally representative samples of high-school teenagers from national and state Youth Risk Behavior Surveys, the study finds evidence of a positive relationship between adoption of cyberbullying laws and students’ reporting of certain experiences of school violence, mental health problems, and substance use activities. Regression analyses also study the effects of some important components of state cyberbullying laws. Finally, this study examines the sex-specific impacts of cyberbullying laws and its components on youth. The causal estimates are robust to the inclusion of multiple sensitivity checks. This study provides evidence on the efficacy of public measures designed to address cyberbullying among school-age children. Chapter 3 utilizes matched data from National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (NLSY79) and Children and Young Adults (NLSY79 CYA), to estimate the impact of mothers’ self-esteem on young children’s home environment qualities that enhance early childhood cognitive functioning and extend better emotional support. The estimates suggest that mothers with higher self-esteem provide better home environment to their children during early stages of childhood. The results are robust across different estimation methods, empirical specifications, and demographic groups. This study also finds that mothers with higher self-esteem are more likely to engage in parental practices that support young children’s cognitive and emotional development. Further analysis shows that mothers' self-esteem has a causal relationship with cognitive and behavioral outcomes of school-age children. The results obtained in this study indicate that early childhood development policies directed towards enhancement of non-cognitive skills in mothers can improve children’s human capital outcomes.

xv, 238 p. : ill.This dissertation study is an examination of childhood contextual factors that contributed to adolescent resilient outcomes among children who experienced interparental violence (IPV). More specifically, the study examined the degree to which verbal ability, temperament, behavior problems, parenting quality, parent-child conflict, IPV, and parent's perceived support in childhood account for variance in behavioral problems, self-efficacy, and parenting received in adolescence. The present study addresses gaps in IPV and resilience literature in the following ways: (a) Few studies have focused on adaptive outcomes of children who experienced IPV; (b) little is known about which contextual factors are most important in facilitating resilient outcomes for this population; (c) factors beyond the microsystem were included as predictors; and (d) little is known about the early predictors of general self-efficacy (a defining attribute of resilience) and parenting (a protective factor that facilitates resilience) for the present population. The sample was derived from an existing data set from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. This is a longitudinal data set using a nonclinical, randomly selected sample. Using regression models to test whether childhood ecological factors could predict adolescent outcomes, the study had four primary findings. First, childhood (Wave 1) emotionality temperament predicted childhood internalizing problems, which predicted adolescent (Wave 3) internalizing problems. Second, childhood emotionality and parenting quality predicted childhood externalizing problems, which predicted adolescent externalizing problems. Third, none of the childhood variables were strong predictors of adolescent general self-efficacy. Lastly, parenting quality in childhood predicted parental monitoring in adolescence; however, none of the study variables were strong predictors of parenting quality in childhood. Results are discussed in the context of varying adolescent outcomes and the larger literature on IPV. The study highlights directions for future research, including the need to further examine protective processes among children survivors of IPV.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Domestic violence is a longstanding phenomenon, affecting children every day. Previous studies have attempted to characterise the negative impact on children, however few have considered how children manage, negotiate, and make sense of their experiences. More pertinently, there is a lack of research that speaks directly with schoolaged children living in the community, alongside their mothers, regarding exposure to domestic violence as a child. This study therefore sought to capture the dual-perspectives of school-aged children and their mothers, to develop a richer understanding of children's experiences of domestic violence, using a community-based sample. Method: A qualitative research design was employed, with interpretative phenomenological analysis used to interpret the data. The study utilised a dual-perspective approach by speaking in parallel with school-aged children and their mothers. Five schoolaged children and three of their mothers participated in the study. Results: Two master themes are discussed from the analysis of the children's perspective: Domestic violence through the eyes of children; and learning from children's experiences. Two master themes are discussed from the analysis of the mothers' perspective: Reflecting on the child in the context of domestic violence; and learning from mothers - insights, support and services. Conclusion: The crucial importance of the mother-child relationship in shaping children's experience of domestic violence was illustrated in both the perspectives; a finding which may have important implications for the development of interventions. It was also evident that children as young as eight were able to powerfully articulate their experiences of domestic violence.
