Title: Domestic Violence and Child Abuse: Related Links in the Chain of Violence
Journal: Protecting Children  Volume:11  Issue:3  Dated:(1995)  Pages:3-5
Author(s): C Dykstra
Date Published: 1995
Annotation: The links between spouse abuse and child abuse suggest that advocates for the victims of these abuses should cooperate and coordinate their services.
Abstract: Recent research on domestic violence reveals that from 45 to 70 percent of battered women in shelters report the existence of some form of child abuse in their homes. Both child protective service workers and battered women's advocates share a common concern for the safety of their clients and an interest in stopping the cycle of family violence; however, their roots, philosophies, mandates, and approaches traditionally differ, presenting conflicts and tensions among the very groups victims rely on for assistance. In some cases, the resources and expertise of both child protective services workers and battered women's advocates are increasingly being blended to provide safety for all family members affected by violence. Coordination and cooperation are being fostered through an increasing number of national, State, and local program initiatives aimed at providing maximum protection for the overlapping population of women and children in abusive homes, regardless of which problem is first identified. A model code on domestic violence and family violence was published in 1994. Key provisions treat domestic violence as a crime, provide for the safety and well-being of children, offer procedures for timely and comprehensive protection orders for victims, and promote a coordinated community response to domestic and family violence. Numerous State initiatives are now underway as well. This article's recommendations for continued progress focus on research as well as continuing education and training for all professionals involved in responding to family violence. 4 references
