Abstract

Description

The impact of family violence is investigated on outcomes involving the adjustment of children related to attachment and behavioural disorders, school-related problems, delinquency, and overall risk. This study examines the rates of child maltreatment in families served by a child protection agency at two time periods (1995 and 2001). Three distinct groups of maltreated children are investigated: children exposed to woman abuse, physically abused children, and children experiencing both physical abuse and exposure to woman abuse.
