“…More significantly, the children are learning about the conditions under which aggression may be applied in intimate relationships. Children absorb many negative and dysfunctional messages about the acceptability of violence as a way to resolve conflict, about rationalizing the use of violence as essential under stressful conditions, and about the devaluation of women (Carlson, 1990;Wolfe, Wekerle, Reitzel, & Gough, 1995). These are known to be the subtle consequences of growing up with interparental violence (Jaffe et al, 1990;Straus et al, 1980).…”

In the last decade there has been a burgeoning of attention directed at the problem of domestic violence and its consequences. Initially the study of domestic violence was limited to a focus within the two-person adult system: the female victims and the male perpetrators. It has become increasingly evident, however, that the consequences of domestic violence involve all family members, with children being the unintended victim in this system. Evidence is becoming available regarding the immediate and short-term consequences of witnessing violence, as well as the long-term consequences. However, because of the difficulty identifying children who are exposed to violence (other than those who accompany their mothers to shelters) and because of the multitude of variables that either exacerbate or buffer the effects of exposure, relatively little is known regarding why some children are intensely affected by exposure to marital violence whereas others survive relatively unscathed.Wimessing violence, in general, has been associated with emotional, behavior, and learning problems in children, with children's susceptibility Preparation of this manuscript was supported by National Institute of Mental Health Grant lROl 36595.

“…School teachers and parents can play key roles here. Violence prevention programs, when integrated into the core curriculum of primary and secondary schools for all students, can be successful in decreasing school-based violence and referring high-risk students to more intensive services outside of the school (Wolfe et al 1995(Wolfe et al , 1997Sudermann and Jaffe 1997). When all students are required to participate, stigmatization due to being identified as abusers or victims does not happen.…”

“…There was minimal exposure to alternative, healthy adult role models. Mentoring programs for these types of boys can counteract the negative effects of violent role models (Askew and Ross 1988;Creighton and Kivel 1992;Wolfe et al 1995). High-risk children and youth can make a successful transition into adulthood with the support of such programs (Rutter 1990;Pepler, Catallo, and Moore 2000;Totten 2001).…”

Men and Masculinities

This study focuses on the development and effect of familial and gender ideologies on the masculine identities of thirty marginal male youth aged thirteen to seventeen years, all of whom were gang members or belonged to violent male peer groups. Qualitative, indepth interviews uncovered protest and negative masculine identities. Their abusive behavior, directed at girlfriends, gays, and racial minorities, is suggested to be a response to blocked access to traditional institutional benefits of patriarchy. Violence compensated for perceived threats to their masculine identities. The construction of masculinity was an ongoing process for these boys, negotiated and developed on a daily basis using available resources in their social space location. Significant differences within the sample explain the variation in the degree to which they embraced patriarchal-authoritarian models of family and gender, and variation in the forms and seriousness of their physical and sexual violence.

“…When children witness family violence, they are at a higher risk for becoming either victims or perpetrators of violence (Campbell, 2001;Osofsky, 2003). Additionally, they may exhibit fears of death or loss of a parent, aggressive behaviors, runningaway behaviors, substance abuse, depression, suicide, anxiety, sleep disturbances, impaired academic and social functioning, or a sense of responsibility for the violence (Berry, 2000;Osofsky, 2003;Wolfe, Wekerle, Reitzel, & Gough, 1995). This exposure may create an increased risk of behavioral problems and interpersonal difficulties with peers and future romantic partners.…”

“…Facilitating early prevention. In response to the call for a developmental model for addressing partner abuse (Osofsky, 2003;Rowell, 2005;Wolfe et al, 1995), early prevention involving adolescent girls seems appropriate. Schools play a significant role in these efforts, and counselors can work closely with other counselors, teachers, administrators, staff, and students in developing and evaluating programs and policies (Green & McCollum, 2004).…”
