“…Child maltreatment is more common in homes where intimate partner aggression and violence (IPAV) occur. [1][2][3][4] And data are evolving to suggest that corporal punishment (CP), a strong risk factor for child maltreatment, 5,6 co-occurs with IPAV as well. 7,8 The link between CP and IPAV also is intergenerational as experiencing CP in childhood raises risk for subsequent aggression 5,9 and both CP and conduct disorder increase risk for later IPAV perpetration.…”

Perceived Social Norms, Expectations, and Attitudes toward Corporal Punishment among an Urban Community Sample of Parents

et al. 2011

Despite the fact that corporal punishment (CP) is a significant risk factor for increased aggression in children, child physical abuse victimization, and other poor outcomes, approval of CP remains high in the United States. Having a positive attitude toward CP use is a strong and malleable predictor of CP use and, therefore, is an important potential target for reducing use of CP. The Theory of Planned Behavior suggests that parents' perceived injunctive and descriptive social norms and expectations regarding CP use might be linked with CP attitudes and behavior. A randomdigit-dial telephone survey of parents from an urban community sample (n=500) was conducted. Perceived social norms were the strongest predictors of having positive attitudes toward CP, as follows: (1) perceived approval of CP by professionals (β=0.30), (2) perceived descriptive norms of CP use (β=0.22), and (3) perceived approval of CP by family and friends (β=0.19); also, both positive (β=0.13) and negative (β=−0.13) expected outcomes for CP use were strong predictors of these attitudes. Targeted efforts are needed to both assess and shift the attitudes and practices of professionals who influence parents regarding CP use; universal efforts, such as public education campaigns, are needed to educate parents and the general public about the high risk/ benefit ratio for using CP and the effectiveness of non-physical forms of child discipline.

“…Estes resultados são em tudo idênticos aos resultados de outros au-tores, que, usando o mesmo ou um questionário diferente, verificam que o abuso durante a infância é mais frequente do que o abuso durante a adolescência, sobretudo no que se refere ao abuso físico, o que não é tão claro no que se refere ao abuso sexual (Benedict et al, 1999;Crouch et al, 1995;Epstein & Bottoms, 1998;Linksey & Fergusson, 1997;Milner et al, 1990;Paúl et al, 1995). Também os estudos que consideram os registos junto de organismos oficiais verificam um maior número de queixas relativas a crianças do que a adolescentes (Egami et al, 1996;McGuigan & Pratt, 2001;Mollerstrom, et al 1995;National Centre on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1986; National Study of the Incidence and Severity of Child Abuse and Neglect, 1988; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, The Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect, 1996). Os nossos resultados mostram ainda, à semelhança dos citados autores, que tanto as mães como os pais referem de forma idêntica significativamente mais abuso físico antes do que depois dos 13 anos de idade.…”

“…Este resultado corresponde ao que também tem sido observado quando se tomam em conta os registos de queixas junto de organismos oficiais (Egami, Fond, Greenfield, & Crum, 1996;McGuigan & Pratt, 2001;Mollerstrom, Patchner, & Milner, 1995;National Centre on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1986; National Study of the Incidence and Severity of Child Abuse and Neglect, 1988; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, The Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect, 1996).…”

“…No entanto, alguns autores observam que apenas o abuso sexual é mais corrente nas mulheres do que nos homens, sendo que a história de abuso físico com sequelas é mais relatada pelos homens das amostras estudadas (e.g., Belt & Abidin, 1996;Rosen & Martin, 1996) enquanto que outros autores não encontram diferenças entre sexos no que se refere ao abuso físico (Fish & Scott, 1999) ou ao abuso sexual (e.g., Melchert, 2000). Os estudos que consideram os registos junto de organismos oficiais também não verificam um número significativamente diferente de queixas de maus tratos perpetradas sobre crianças e adolescentes do sexo feminino e masculino (Egami et al, 1996;McGuigan & Pratt, 2001;Mollerstrom et al, 1995; National Centre on Child Abuse and Neglect, 1986; National Study of the Incidence and Severity of Child Abuse and Neglect, 1988; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, The Third National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect, 1996). Alguns estudos observam, contudo, mais queixas de abuso sexual em crianças e adolescentes do sexo feminino (e.g., Mollerstrom et al, 1995).…”

INTRODUÇÃOEstimar a prevalência ou a incidência de maus tratos à criança e ao adolescente é um objectivo que tem norteado muitos estudos empíricos, os quais seguiram duas metodologias distintas. Alguns estudos procuraram avaliar, junto de indiví-duos na idade adulta, a presença de história de maus tratos na infância; outros estudos procuraram estimar, através da consulta de registos oficiais ou da observação directa dos sujeitos, o nú-mero de crianças sobre as quais estaria a acontecer uma situação de abuso.No primeiro grupo de estudos, que enverga pela metodologia adoptada na investigação que apresentamos neste artigo, verifica-se que experiências de maus tratos e negligência durante a infância e a adolescência são relatadas por um elevado número de indivíduos na idade adulta.A prevalência de história de abuso físico na infância e adolescência, com base nos relatos na idade adulta, é estimada em 14 a 50% dos sujeitos das amostras recolhidas na comunidade, tendo em conta as amostras e os instrumentos que usam diferentes definições para o abuso (Belt & Abidin, 1996;Browne & Hamilton, 1998;Crouch, Milner, & Caliso, 1995;Eisen & Carlson, 1998; Epps, Carlin, & Ward, 1999;Fish & Scott, 1999;Liem & Boudewyn, 1999;Litty, Kowalski, & Minor, 1996;Milner, Robertson, & Rogers, 1990;Paúl, Milner, & Múgica, 1995;Rosen & Martin, 1996).No que se refere especificamente à história de abuso sexual durante a infância e adolescência, este tipo de abuso tem sido igualmente relatado por um número considerável de indivíduos na 365

“…Increasingly, convincing research on the harm to children from exposure to or witnessing of domestic violence has led to its transformation from an issue primarily affecting adult victims, most commonly women, to also having child victims [111][112][113][114]. There is also evidence that in addition to exposure, domestic violence also has a high co-occurrence with direct abuse of children, with some estimates between 30%-60% [115].…”

Current Debates on Variability in Child Welfare Decision-Making: A Selected Literature Review

This article considers selected drivers of decision variability in child welfare decision-making and explores current debates in relation to these drivers. Covering the related influences of national orientation, risk and responsibility, inequality and poverty, evidence-based practice, constructions of abuse and its causes, domestic violence and cognitive processes, it discusses the literature in regards to how each of these influences decision variability. It situates these debates in relation to the ethical issue of variability and the equity issues that variability raises. I propose that despite the ecological complexity that drives decision variability, that improving internal (within-country) decision consistency is still a valid goal. It may be that the use of annotated case examples, kind learning systems, and continued commitments to the social justice issues of inequality and individualisation can contribute to this goal.
