Abstract:

The history of the relationship between child maltreatment and intimate partner violence (IPV) is well documented. However, what remains uncertain is the type of maltreatment that is a risk factor for later IPV perpetration. Several studies document that childhood physical abuse is a stronger risk factor, whereas other studies document that witnessing violence is the dominant risk factor. A second area that is not well-understood is gender. Specifically, it is unclear if witnessing parental violence as a child affects both males and females equally, with some studies showing gender differences, and others showing similarities. Gender differences have become particularly important because of the gender symmetry debates which argue that men and women use equal rates of violence against intimate partners for debatably similar reasons. In this study we examined the following: 1) Did different forms of child maltreatment show a relationship with violence perpetration in men; 2) What are differences or similarities for women? This paper seeks to better understand the risk factors of child maltreatment as they relate to gender differences for the purpose of breaking the cycle of violence.
