TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the notion of violence conjugale as "a social grave and persistant problem which enforces le tiers des femmes de la planete en a deja ete victime".
Abstract: La violence conjugale est un probleme social grave et persistant ; le tiers des femmes de la planete en a deja ete victime. Cet article vise a discuter des liens empiriques et theoriques entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles. L’article debutera par une breve mise en contexte decrivant comment la violence conjugale s’est construite comme un probleme socio-penal au Quebec. Les principales lacunes des connaissances actuelles dans le domaine seront ensuite identifiees, demontrant ainsi la necessite de mieux comprendre les liens complexes entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles, trois concepts dont les definitions pourraient s’enrichir et se completer mutuellement. Cet article soulignera l’importance de prendre en consideration les realites diversifiees auxquelles sont confrontes les acteurs concernes par ces violences (femmes, hommes et enfants), en privilegiant une analyse globale qui integre non seulement les facteurs individuels et interpersonnels, mais aussi les facteurs sociaux et structurels, notamment les oppressions liees au genre ou a d’autres marqueurs de l’identite sociale. La discussion sera enrichie par des modeles theoriques decrivant les differentes dynamiques de violences conjugales et familiales ainsi que par le feminisme intersectionnel, qui s’avere fort utile pour l’analyse des violences structurelles. La conclusion traitera des retombees potentielles d’une analyse des liens entre les violences conjugales, familiales et structurelles sur les politiques sociales et les programmes d’intervention pour les victimes, les agresseurs et les enfants exposes a la violence conjugale.

TL;DR: The second cycle of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS-2003) as discussed by the authors was released in 2003, and the major findings of the second cycle were presented.
Abstract: This report presents the major findings of the second cycle of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS-2003). In this initiative, data are collected every five years on child maltreatment reported to, and investigated by, child welfare agencies in Canada. The CIS is a collaborative effort of many partners: the federal, provincial and territorial governments; university-based researchers; the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society; child advocacy groups; and most important, child welfare service providers across the country.

TL;DR: A systematic examination of the scientific literature in several relevant databases was conducted to identify scientific articles, published between 2003 and 2013, that investigated this cooccurrence of intimate partner violence and intrafamilial child sexual abuse.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes what is known in this area and highlights gaps in our knowledge about the connections between specific event characteristics, and suggest ways of doing this: by collecting rich data on the heterogeneity of violent events among intimate partners, they can close outstanding gaps in their knowledge of this problem.

TL;DR: More than one-third of the women who separated from their abusive partners on average 20 months previously experienced high disability pain as measured by Von Korff's chronic pain grade as mentioned in this paper, which was associated with visits to a family doctor and psychiatrist and use of medication in more than prescribed dosages.

TL;DR: The results of this study support the use of LCA in identifying meaningful patterns of IPV and provide a more nuanced understanding of the role of gender than conventional measures.
Abstract: Background There has been an ongoing debate about the extent and nature of gender differences in the experience of intimate partner violence (IPV). Disagreement about the appropriate definition of IPV is central to this debate. Methods This study used latent class analysis (LCA) to map the patterns of physical violence, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviour, and examined whether LCA can better illuminate the gendered nature of this experience than conventional measures of IPV. Data from the 2004 Canadian General Social Survey were analysed, which included 8360 women and 7056 men 15 years of age and over who reported a current or ex-spouse or common-law partner. Results Results revealed more variation in the patterns of IPV for women than for men. Six classes were found for women, whereas four classes were found for men. Women and men were equally likely to experience less severe acts of physical aggression that were not embedded in a pattern of control. However, only women experienced a severe and chronic pattern of violence and control involving high levels of fear and injury. For women and men, intermediate patterns of violence and control, and patterns describing exclusively non-physical acts of abuse were also found. The results also revealed substantial differences in the IPV subtypes for those reporting about a current versus an ex-partner. Conclusion These results support the use of LCA in identifying meaningful patterns of IPV and provide a more nuanced understanding of the role of gender than conventional measures. Implications for sampling within IPV research are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a national sample of children and youth were assessed for 36 different kinds of victimization using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire, and polyvictimization at every developmental level was strongly associated with distress symptoms.
Abstract: Polyvictimization (i.e., exposure to multiple forms of victimization) appears highly correlated with indicators of traumatic stress in children. In this study, a national sample of children and youth were assessed for 36 different kinds of victimization using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire. Polyvictims were defined as the 10% of children experiencing the most different kinds of victimization in each of 4 developmental cohorts. The younger polyvictims had somewhat fewer victimizations overall, less sexual victimization, and more victimization at the hands of family members, particularly siblings. However, polyvictimization at every developmental level was strongly associated with distress symptoms. This study suggests the importance of assessing for and identifying polyvictims at all ages, including among preschoolers.

TL;DR: Maternal and child PTSD symptoms were correlated, suggesting that young children may be particularly vulnerable to relational PTSD due to their close physical and emotional relationship with their parents.
Abstract: Intimate partner violence (IPV) places infants and young children at risk for development of trauma symptoms. However, this is an understudied consequence of IPV because young children pose particular difficulties for assessment of trauma symptoms. The authors collected maternal reports on mothers' and children's posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and IPV yearly, from ages 1 to 7. Approximately half of the children exposed to IPV at each time period developed some trauma symptoms, and frequency of IPV witnessed was associated with PTSD symptoms. Maternal and child PTSD symptoms were correlated, suggesting that young children may be particularly vulnerable to relational PTSD due to their close physical and emotional relationship with their parents.
