Description
This edited volume brings together research, legal analysis, and practice-based contributions on children affected by domestic violence against their mothers. It frames children not as peripheral witnesses, but as directly impacted subjects with distinct protection, support, and developmental needs. The book is explicitly interdisciplinary, connecting family law, child protection, youth welfare, police intervention, shelters, counselling, therapy, and perpetrator work. Its central aim is to close knowledge gaps and strengthen coordinated professional responses.
Document Role
This book serves as a strong background reference for a KPG/EPG case study in social work where domestic violence, child endangerment, trauma exposure, and protective placement intersect. It is especially relevant for diagnostics, because it helps frame trauma-related burden, child protection concerns, institutional response needs, and the effects of separation, shelter placement, and youth welfare intervention. For residential child and youth care contexts, it supports theory-based assessment, safety planning, interagency cooperation, and trauma-informed reflection.
Clean up
This book is a reference document. It can be removed from the collection after the EPG case study project is completed.
