Statement 5: As long as children are not abused, they are not affected by witnessing violence in the home. Children who witness the assault of a parent (or an adult who is significant in their life) can be just as seriously affected by witnessing abuse as being abused. They are at risk of being assaulted themselves, of developing adjustment problems during childhood and adolescence, and of continuing the cycle of violence. Most violent behaviour is learned. Some studies indicated that between 40-60% of assaulting men witnessed their mothers being assaulted when they were children. Children exposed to parent assault have similar adjustment problems as children who are themselves physically abused. Children of an assaulted parent rate significantly below their peers in areas such as school performance, participation in organized sports and activities, and social involvement. Serious behaviour problems are 17 times higher for boys and 10 times higher for girls who have witnessed assault than for other children. Studies indicate that child adjustment problems relate more to witnessing domestic violence than to the separation, divorce or loss of parents. Statement 6: Abusers are mentally ill. The number of people who are genuinely uncontrollably ÒsickÓ is very small. Most people, no matter how much they may be suffering from physical or mental illnesses, make choices about their behaviour. It is true that a few people become violent because of mental illness; they really cannot control their behaviour. Medication/therapy treatment can help. Although most abusers may not be diagnosed with mental illness, they are experiencing anger control problems which often requires professional help. Most people who assault their partners are not violent outside the house. They do not hit their bosses or colleagues. They often aim their blows at parts of the body where bruises will not show. Statement 7: Bad childhood experiences cause people to become abusers. Many people who were abused as children may develop depression, anxiety, addiction problems and other negative effects throughout their lives. However, childhood abuse does not make them become abusers. Cycles of abuse can be stopped with recognition of a problem, counselling etc. People choose their own behaviour. Statement 8: Violence against women is not a widespread problem. According to Eugene Lupri (1992), one in five Canadian men admitted to using violence against his female partner. More than 93% of charges related to spousal assault in Ontario are laid against men.3. Most charges laid against women are counter-charges laid by assaultive partners or stem from acts of self-defense. Statement 9: Assaulted women readily report the incident to the police to ensure future protection. Assaulted women often feel unable to report their assaults to police and/or go through the criminal justice system because: -they continue to hope things will get better -they fear retaliation or revenge by the offender Grade 11 Healthy Active Living Education (PPL30), Module #3 Violence and Risk Taking Behaviour Page 10
-they lack information regarding legal rights and the legal system -they fear they will not be believed or will be blamed for the abuse -they fear slow, ineffective and/or insensitive response by police, the courts and probation and parole officers -they fear deportation -they fear that their partners will be mistreated by police or the courts because of racism and discrimination.
