Notes:	Drawing on a learning theory model of the intergenerational transmission of violence, this paper outlines the findings of an Australian study aimed at identifying the relationships between various forms of child maltreatment, low family cohesion and alcohol abuse and their role in contributing to violent behaviour in later life. A background to research in this area, and some of its limitations, is provided and it is suggested that traditional research approaches have failed to take into account an adequate range of contributing factors in examining family background and domestic violence. Suggests these limitations may have led to inaccurate links being made between violence and certain risk factors in isolation and that further research into the impact of co-existing maltreatment types is needed.
