“…Children raised in homes where violence is used will learn to exercise violence in their own relationships, leading to a circle of violence. In addition, being on the receiving end of violence increases the risk of further violence—“violence begets violence” [ 10 ].…”

BackgroundDomestic violence is a public health problem with negative consequences. We aimed to determine the prevalence of violence between parents and by parents against children, types of intimate partner violence against women, the intergenerational transmission of violence, and to identify a profile of beliefs and judgements regarding violent behaviour.MethodsThe data used for this article were sourced from three cross-sectional studies performed in Romania in 2009–2011. We sampled 869 respondents (male and female) with a homogenous distribution between environment, gender, educational level, and age group (18 to 75). From a 96-item questionnaire regarding family and reproductive health, this article refers to four items: (1) feelings relating to the family in which they were raised; (2) whether they witnessed violence between parents or were victims of violence by parents or other family members during childhood or the teenage years; (3) opinions relating to 10 statements on violence from Maudsley Violence Questionnaire; (4) the manifestation of psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse from the partner in the family of procreation (FOP). The data were analysed by Pearson chi-square tests and latent class analysis.ResultsDuring childhood, 35% of respondents witnessed parental violence and 53.7% were victims of family violence. Psychological abuse by men against women was the most common type of violence reported in the FOP (45.1%). Violence in childhood and adolescence correlated with the perception of the family of origin as a hostile environment and of violence against women as a corrective measure, and that insults, swearing, and humiliation by their partner within the FOP is acceptable (p < 0.05). A profile of beliefs and judgements about violent behaviour indicated that the Impulsive reactive cluster is represented by men in rural areas, and by subjects who witnessed parental violence or were victims of violence during childhood (p < 0.001).ConclusionsIn Romania, the use of violence as a form of discipline or instruction of children and women remains a significant problem, with a higher rate of intimate partner violence than in other developed countries. Furthermore, implementing intervention mechanisms for psychological abuse is urgently required, as are education and intervention in high-risk populations.

“…Parental violence against children triggers a circle of violence (Rada, 2014). Today's victims of parental violence are tomorrow's perpetrators -"violence begets violence" (Holt & Gillespie, 2008). As parents' non-violent training reduce the violence against children, incompetent parents who do not know how to parent or are troubled by personal problems should be educated.…”

Every society experiences violence in some way or other. Domestic violence is one of the most common and neglected violence. Research proves that domestic violence has significant short-and long-term impacts on children's physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and social developmental processes. Some international studies have shown that 80-90% of children around the world have been physically punished within the family. In this regard, the researchers aim to explore to what extent parental violence is justified across nations around the world, taking the data from the seventh wave of values survey conducted from 2017 to 2021 in around 59 countries. The research also aims to explore the variance based on gender, age, and education as moderators. SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data. Mean values, Mann -Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis test were the tools used to explore the variance based on gender, age and education. Among the 86,820 total respondents from 59 countries, 41,245 were male respondents and 45,575 were female respondents. The major finding includes there is statistically significant variance exists between male and female respondents as well as different age groups and education levels of the respondents. There was an inverse relationship between age group and education level with the justification of violence. The analysis findings demonstrates the importance of education in reducing the justification of parental violence, highlighting the potential for educational programs to change attitudes toward parenting practices. The findings of this study have significant implications for promoting positive parenting practices and reducing violence against children globally. The research has implications for some policy-making through recommendations.

“…Results indicate that for both men and women, parent-tochild physical abuse is associated with psychological and physical partner violence as both victim and perpetrator (Coffey, Leitenberg, Henning, Bennett, & Jankowski, 1996;Foshee et al, 2004;Gomez, 2011;Jankowski, Leitenberg, Henning, & Coffey, 1999;Lavoie et al, 2002;Marshall & Rose, 1988;Millett et al, 2013;O'Keefe, 2005;Simons, Lin, & Gordon, 1998;Stith et al, 2000). Similarly, witnessing interparental violence has been associated with partner victimization (Brownridge, 2006;Cappell & Heiner, 1990;Kwong, Bartholomew, Henderson, & Trinke, 2003) and the perpetration of partner violence (Carr & VanDeuse, 2002;Holt & Gillespie, 2008;Murrell, Christoff, & Henning, 2007). However, some data suggest no significant relationship between family of origin variables and subsequent IPV (Busby, Holman, & Walker, 2008;Foshee, Ennett, Bauman, Benefield, & Suchindra, 2005).…”

Partner violence is a pervasive public health concern that has received significant attention over the past three decades. Although a number of studies have reported that college students who are Deaf or hard of hearing are at an increased risk of experiencing partner violence compared with their hearing counterparts, little is known about partner violence perpetration among college students who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Furthermore, beyond disability, studies examining partner violence among students with disabilities tend to ignore other potential risk factors that may increase the risk of partner violence as a victim and/or a perpetrator. This exploratory study examines the extent of partner violence among male and female college students by auditory status and the relationship between experiencing and perpetrating partner abuse (i.e., physical abuse and psychological abuse) and child maltreatment (i.e., witnessing abuse and experiencing child physical abuse). The study also examines gender differences in the relationship between child maltreatment and physical and psychological abuse victimization and perpetration. Data were collected from a sample of approximately 680 college students at a northeastern university. Findings indicate that having witnessed interparental abuse as a child was only significant for being an adult victim of physical abuse. Having been a child victim of parental abuse was not significant for any of the abuse measures. Gender was only significant for being an adult victim of physical abuse. Deaf students were significantly more likely to report all abuse measures. Implications and directions for further research are discussed.
