| dc.description.notes | Review of research that has been done on young people's experience of family violence. Looks at data and cites figures that 24% of secondary school students have witnessed physical violence by their father or stepfather towards their mother. 1 in 10 actually live in homes where the male carer uses violence. The overlap between domestic violence and child abuse is between 30 and 70%. The review looks at the effects of this violence on young people, which change as they grow older. It also cites the rate of intergenerational violence (victims that become perpetrators) as 30% and points out that this means that 70% of victims don't become offenders. Argues that the majority of violent offenders are from non-violent homes indicating that the causes are complex. Victims are often targeted twice: as the children of violent fathers; and also as potential perpetrators. Young people's needs are overlooked as being separate to those of their mothers – wrong assumptions include that family is a nurturing place and that an abuser is or can be a good parent. Also notes a shortage of services for young people, particularly those from diverse cultural backgrounds. Argues that young people do not want to be protected from adult conversations, but rather want to know what is going on. Finally outlines a number of strategies to better support young people including avoiding false reassurances; allowing time to build trust with workers; and recognising individual responses to the violent situation rather than pathologising their response. | en |
