TL;DR: Evidence from the studies reviewed suggests considerable overlap, compounding effects, and possible gender differences in outcomes of violence exposure, indicating a need to apply a broad conceptualization of risk to the study of family violence and its effects on children.

TL;DR: Results show that child abuse, domestic violence, and both in combination increase a child’s risk for internalizing and externalizing outcomes in adolescence, and the effects of exposure for boys and girls are statistically comparable.

TL;DR: Preventing child abuse and children’s exposure to domestic violence could lessen the risk of antisocial behavior during adolescence, as could strengthening parent—child attachments in adolescence, but strengthening attachments between parents and children after exposure may not be sufficient to counter the negative impact of earlier violence trauma.

TL;DR: It is proposed that broadening to include campus- and contextual-level factors is necessary to fully explain campus sexual assault, and research related to campus-level variation in sexual violence is identified and synthesized using an ecological approach.

TL;DR: Investigating parenting characteristics and adolescent peer support as potential moderators of the effects of childhood exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) on adolescent outcomes found interventions that influence parenting practices and strengthen peer support for youth exposed to IPV may increase protection and decrease risk of several tested outcomes.
