C/S/25. What are the effects of Domestic Violence on Children?

Violence at home is considered a crime and within UK 25% of all crimes are committed at home and could be categorised as domestic violence or abuse. This project is based on domestic violence and the effects of such direct or indirect violence on children. Primary data will be obtained from children between the age groups 10-15 years to obtain direct reports on their views on violence at home and to examine whether there are gender and age variations in childrens perception of violence and the effects of violence on them. Data wil be obtained using questionnaires on a sample of 400 male and female children and following the analysis, recommendations could be made for further research.
