Getuige zijn van huiselijk geweld als een vorm van kindermishandeling

Master thesis | Education and Child Studies (MSc)

This thesis gives an insight in the consisentcy between children who had been witnessing domestic violence and children who had been maltreated in an other way. Analyses had been done based on data provided by the Tweede Nederlandse Prevalentiestudie naar Mishandeling van Kinderen en Jeugdigen (NPM-2010). It appeared that more then half of the children who had witnessed domestic violence suffered from at least one other form of maltreatment. No differences were found in the nine characteristics that had been tested in their distributions for children who had witnessed domestic violence compared with children who had maltreated in another form. With this study is confirmed that witnessing domestic violence does not significantly deviates from other maltreatmentforms.
