这项研究探讨了家庭暴力和虐待儿童的程度较轻或较重的家庭与只有虐待儿童的家庭之间的差异。使用涉及父母肇事者的儿童虐待报告对儿童身体虐待和忽视进行了审查。该研究发现，与仅虐待儿童和不太严重的家庭暴力群体相比，更严重的家庭暴力中忽视，特别是缺乏监督的比例更高，儿童身体虐待较少。在严重家庭暴力组中，更多的母亲负责缺乏监督，更少的父亲负责儿童的身体虐待。儿童保护工作者还报告说，他们对涉及家庭暴力的案件更加关注。然而，对家庭暴力案件的定性特征进行更仔细的审查后发现，定量调查结果并不能准确地反映整个情况。母亲和父亲都对子女进行严重的身体虐待。此外，许多母亲被认为对“未能保护”其子女免受父亲的家庭暴力负有责任。儿童福利的实践和政策和未来的研究方向的影响。(C)2004 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
This study examined differences between families in which less or more severe domestic violence and child maltreatment were present compared to families in which only child maltreatment was known to be present. Both child physical abuse and neglect were examined using a child maltreatment reports involving parental perpetrators. The study found a higher percentage of neglect, specifically lack of supervision, and less child physical abuse in the more severe domestic violence compared to the child maltreatment only and less severe domestic violence groups. More mothers were found responsible for lack of supervision and fewer fathers were responsible for child physical abuse in the severe domestic violence group. Child protection workers also reported a higher level of concern for cases involving domestic violence. However, a closer examination of the qualitative characteristics of the domestic violence cases revealed that quantitative findings do not accurately present the whole story. Both mothers and fathers engaged in serious acts of physical abuse against their children. In addition, many mother were held responsible to 'failure to protect' their children from the father's domestic violence. Implications for child welfare practice and policy and future research directions are addressed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
