  • The Dark Side Of The Family
    • Pizzey - Suggests that domestic violence is a result of patriarchy and oppression. Men use domestic violence as a way of controlling women.
      • Liberal Feminists - DV arises from two sources, different gender-role socialisation and a crisis of masculinity
        • Crisis Of Masculinity - Men's traditional source of identity (work) is no longer guaranteed so domestic violence is therefore an attempt to re-exert their power, control and status

              • Boys are socialised into traditional masculine values, femininity however involves being passive which may explain why women tolerate DV
                • Child Abuse: Department Of Health - 95% of children on child protection registers were from families living in poverty, suggesting people who physically abuse children appear to be concentrated in low-income groups
                  • Creighton and Noyes - Physical abuse: Fathers - 61% Mothers - 36% Mothers were more likely to be involved in neglect and emotional abuse
                • Explanations of child abuse: Bell and Vogel (Functionalist theory) - The dysfunction of child abuse may be less serious than the breakdown of the family, feuding parents use children as  emotional weapons
                  • Feminist theories of child abuse - Mainly focuses on sexual abuse where it is seen as a symptom of male power in a patriarchal society
                • Dysfunctional families - New Right views believe that domestic violence takes place in dysfunctional families. Their view is that violence results from the instability of families caused by increasing cohabitation and divorce
                • Emotional intensity and family life: Giddens - Nature of the family that makes domestic violence quite common. Minor arguments  in families can often escalate into acts of violence
