Violence and Aggression in Children

CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION

Background

Violence contributes to aggression, it seems that social aggression or lack of social support to further increase the likelihood that aggression and punitiveness characterizes the parent-child relationship. Children who witness and or experience violence likely to develop and internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. Studies of homeless children have given the observation in accordance with this evidence. For example, Winter et al. (1999) found that both behavior problems and depressive symptoms were most common among homeless children who endured violence (as witnesses or victims). Similarly, Rabideau and Toro (1997) noted that domestic violence was associated with behavioral problems among homeless children. (Cook, 2003)

When the children exposed to violence, they are likely to take on violence and aggression in their own social relations. Anooshian (in press), for example, found that when dealing with specific types of behavior problems, maternal reports of violence were more predictive of homeless children on the offenders, and aggressive behavior problems than the problems with anxiety or depression. It is clear those children who experience frequent violence, most likely, the model of aggressive behavior that they observe. They may also feel the crime and aggressive behavior, as providing some protection from the dangers of violence and stress in their environment. In accordance with this proposal, children living in dangerous areas to get a more positive attitude toward aggression than children who live in safer areas, these relationships, in turn, are likely to lead to more aggressive behavior. (Anooshian, 2007)
