“…Some children intervene to protect an abused parent (e.g. see Edleson et al, 2003). The term 'witness' does not, therefore, adequately represent the pervasive infl uence that intimate partner violence in the home can have on children.…”

“…Conversely, mothers who are victims of intimate partner violence may be abusive towards their children (Hartley, 2004;Margolin et al, 2003). Alternatively, children may be injured while attempting to intervene in incidents of intimate partner violence (Edleson et al, 2003), or while being carried by the adult victim at the time of assault.…”

A substantial body of literature assessing the impact of intimate partner violence on children and associations between intimate partner violence and child abuse now exists. Central to knowledge about these areas of practice and research is a robust, child-centred consideration of some of the more challenging conceptual issues they give rise to. In this paper, we aim to stimulate debate by presenting a critical, child-centred perspective on the intersection between intimate partner violence and child abuse. Initially, we provide the context for the review by presenting a brief overview of the literature. We then consider three central issues from a child-centred perspective. We discuss the language used to describe children forced to live with intimate partner violence, and the importance of hearing children's perspectives on their experiences of such confl ict. Finally, we consider similarities and differences between the intimate partner violence and child abuse fi elds from a child-centred viewpoint. We conclude that increasing conceptual clarity around these issues will enhance research in the fi eld, and ultimately improve interventions designed to protect children forced to live with intimate partner violence.

“…This may be due to perceptions that children have been shielded from the exposure if they did not directly observe the abuse and/or have not become a direct target. In addition, parents often lack insight into the various forms of children witnessing DFV even when they are believed to be asleep or playing in another room (Edleson, Mbilinyi, Beeman, & Hagemeister, 2003).…”

Motivating perpetrators of domestic and family violence to engage in behaviour change: The role of fatherhood

Policies and practices around domestic and family violence (DFV) increasingly focus on perpetrator accountability. With growing evidence that punitive responses alone have a limited deterrent effect on perpetrators, behaviour change programs play a significant role in creating accountability and improving safety for victims and children. Motivating perpetrators to engage in such programs can, however, be challenging. Few perpetrators seem to recognize the need to change for their intimate (ex)-partner due to victim-blaming attitudes and a sense that relationships are replaceable. Relationships with their children on the other hand seem to hold more value. This article explores the role of fatherhood as a motivating factor for male perpetrators to engage in relevant behaviour change programs. Based on face-to-face interviews with 18 fathers in a court-mandated intervention program, findings alert to the need for education of abusive fathers in 3 key areas: the impact of DFV on children's well-being, the impact of DFV on the parent-child relationship, and the impact of DFV-related repercussions on the parent-child relationship.Fathers' desire to have a relationship with their children suggests fatherhood offers a viable angle to motivate their engagement in interventions that address gendered forms of DFV and subsequently improve victims' and children's safety.
