dc.description.abstract | Violence against women and violence against children are distinct research fields. Quantitative studies have demonstrated their
intersection, but qualitative data provides an opportunity for a comprehensive understanding of this interface. Interviews with 22
parents/caregivers convicted of child homicide provided an opportunity to explore the context of violent experiences in their lives
including their use of violence and their experiences of it in their intimate and parenting relationships. Using a feminist framework,
we found that patriarchal family structures, gender and power dynamics contribute to the use of violence. Revenge child
homicide was common with distinct gendered differences. This study calls for closer collaboration between the two fields to
assist in developing prevention interventions to address and eradicate both forms of violence. | en_US |
