This ANROWS-funded study by researchers from Monash and Griffith Universities examines the intersection of different types of child maltreatment and their association with young people’s use of violence in the home. The most common experiences of maltreatment were domestic violence, with cisgender females more likely to experience all four types of child maltreatment. These findings point to the need for education about the impacts of child maltreatment and primary prevention strategies to address risk factors across individuals, communities and society.
