这项研究认为，与虐待孩子的父母和虐待自己的孩子和对方相比，父母谁只虐待自己的孩子的特点。162名被指控虐待儿童的父母被考虑在内。样本包括43名父亲（父亲的家庭-PF）和23名母亲（母亲的家庭-MF）谁犯下的合作伙伴和儿童虐待，以及23名父亲（父亲的儿童-PC）和26名母亲（母亲的儿童-MC）谁犯下的儿童虐待。此外，2名父亲（父亲受害者-PV）和23名母亲（母亲受害者-MV）是亲密伴侣虐待的受害者和虐待儿童的肇事者，7名父亲（父亲非虐待性照顾者-PNC）和15名母亲（母亲非虐待性照顾者-MNC）没有虐待儿童，但与虐待儿童的人生活在一起。40.7%的父母在其家庭单位内既虐待亲密伴侣又虐待儿童。然而，父亲虐待其伴侣和子女的可能性明显高于母亲，母亲成为亲密伴侣暴力受害者的可能性明显高于父亲。PF的父亲进行了最多的身体和/或性虐待儿童，而MC和MV的母亲犯下了最多的儿童忽视。母亲之间很少有显着差异被发现。PF父亲有显着更多的因素与发展的犯罪的生活方式比PC父亲。显着的性别差异表现出与PF父亲表现出显着更多的反社会的特点，较少的心理健康问题和孤独感比MF母亲。MC母亲有显着更多的儿童虐待，心理健康问题，养育风险因素，并显着更有可能是生物学上的孩子比PC父亲。这项研究表明，应对暴力家庭进行全面评估和处理，考虑到伴侣暴力对所有家庭成员的影响，而不是只对施暴男子进行干预。
This study considers the characteristics associated with mothers and fathers who maltreat their child and each other in comparison to parents who only maltreat their child. One hundred and sixty-two parents who had allegations of child maltreatment made against them were considered. The sample consisted of 43 fathers (Paternal Family-PF) and 23 mothers (Maternal Family-MF) who perpetrated both partner and child maltreatment, together with 23 fathers (Paternal Child-PC) and 26 mothers (Maternal Child-MC) who perpetrated child maltreatment only. In addition, 2 fathers (Paternal Victim-PV) and 23 mothers (Maternal Victim-MV) were victims of intimate partner maltreatment and perpetrators of child maltreatment and 7 fathers (Paternal Non-abusive Carer-PNC) and 15 mothers (Maternal Non-abusive Carer-MNC) did not maltreat the child but lived with an individual who did. Within their family unit, 40.7% of parents perpetrated both intimate partner and child maltreatment. However, fathers were significantly more likely to maltreat both their partner and child than mothers and mothers were significantly more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence than fathers. PF fathers conducted the highest amount of physical and/or sexual child maltreatment while MC and MV mothers perpetrated the highest amount of child neglect. Few significant differences between mothers were found. PF fathers had significantly more factors associated with development of a criminogenic lifestyle than PC fathers. Marked sex differences were demonstrated with PF fathers demonstrating significantly more antisocial characteristics, less mental health problems and fewer feelings of isolation than MF mothers. MC mothers had significantly more childhood abuse, mental health problems, parenting risk factors and were significantly more likely to be biologically related to the child than PC fathers. This study suggests that violent families should be assessed and treated in a holistic manner, considering the effects of partner violence upon all family members, rather than exclusively intervening with the violent man.
