| Abstract | |
Objective: To investigate the associations between different types of violence within the family. Method: A household survey of a representative sample of adult women in two neighborhoods with different social-economic profiles in a Brazilian city. Data in respect of intimate partner violence (using the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales) and violence against children (using the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales) were collected. Results: We interviewed 905 women, 532 of whom were in an intimate relationship and 446 had children. Bivariate logistic regression models indicated that women victims of some type of violence had higher odds (OR:62.5 CI:27.3-143.2) of abusing their partners. Moreover, both women being violent toward their partners and being victims of violence were associated with a greater chance of them abusing their children. Conclusion: The data highlight the circularity of violent relationships and, therefore, the importance of preventive and therapeutic strategies targeted toward the whole family rather than toward individuals.
