Specialist services have been advocating for stronger data and evidence to improve system and service design. While we have a growing picture of the problem of violence, we don’t have a clear understanding of the system’s capacity to respond. Safety Measures is an innovative new sense-making program, led by six organisations across the Northern Territory, South Australia and Victoria, that aims to build a holistic picture of people’s support needs and experiences and inform more responsive, inclusive and evidence-based decision making about DFV service provision.
Child-to-Parent violence (CPV) may generalise into other relationships later in life. Study participants showed CPV was positively associated with experience (i.e. as perpetrator or victim) of recent violence as an adult, including physical, sexual, and verbal violence, as well as intimidation, across a variety of contexts (home, work, transport, and licensed venues). These associations interacted with gender. CPV in adolescence may be an important secondary prevention target to interrupt the progression of violence across the lifespan.
This study examines the relationship between online addictive behaviors—specifically problematic internet use, gaming, and online gambling—and child-to-parent violence (CPV), a strong indicator of parental aggression. It also investigates how reactive and instrumental reasons for CPV serve as mediating mechanisms in this relationship.
