30 Nov 2017

Violence against children, violence toward older adults, and violence between spouses/intimate partners are usually the targets of research and efforts to address family violence. [...] It is intended to help service providers and the public better understand why, when, and how non-spousal family violence happens, and to highlight the need for prevention programming for family violence and homicides that do not involve intimate partners, or violence toward children or older adults. [...] Using strongly supported theories and diverse research findings from other areas of family violence, Hoffman and Edwards (2004) estimate that several types of negative interaction among family members work together to encourage violence and abuse in older sibling relationships. [...] This type of violence is different from other forms of family violence because parents still have to parent and hold power (e.g., financially support the family), which often makes the option of leaving the relationship very difficult. [...] One of the first and few studies to publish about family violence between parents and adult children surveyed 489 university undergraduate students in the U. K. regarding their experience of maltreatment during childhood and their use of violence as a conflict tactic with parents in the previous year (Browne & Hamilton, 1998).
