| dc.description.notes | "July 1999"<br/ >This presents the findings about partner violence from the longitudinal Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study of a representative birth cohort of 1,037 New Zealand men and women born between April 1972 and March 1973. A birth cohort is not a community sample and follow-up is conducted with all individuals in the cohort (those who had and had not used battered women’s shelters or those who had and had not been convicted). Key findings include: 70-80% of one partner’s report was in agreement with the other partner’s report on whether physical violence took place and the extent of the abuse; risk factors in childhood and adolescence for male perpetrators consisted of poverty and low academic achievement; female perpetrators showed risk factors of harsh family discipline and parental strife; both male and female perpetrators had histories of aggressive behaviour; strongest risk factor for both male and female perpetrators and victims was a record of physically aggressive offending before the age of 15; more than half the males convicted of a violent crime had physically abused their partners; 67% of females who had serious physical abuse and 88% of male perpetrators had one or more mental disorders; women who had children by the age of 21 were twice as likely to be victims of domestic violence; and men who had fathered children by the age of 21 were more than 3 times as likely to be perpetrators of abuse. It concludes that 3 intervention approaches are needed: (1) early interventions with teenagers to teach them not to use violence against partners; (2) interventions with young parents to protect their small children from exposure to violence at home; and (3) perpetrators tend to present with a range of other problems (mental illness, drug use, committing other violent crimes), which suggests a need for coordination between police, judicial and health interventions. | en |
