Young children can experience both direct and indirect
effects of violence. They remain vulnerable targets of violent
events, especially in the context of violence within the family
(Straus, 1974). Most serious physical abuse occurs in the first
year of a child’s life. Young children exposed to trauma engage
in destructive behaviors more than their non-maltreated peers.
Physically abused children and youth have been shown to engage
in other-directed destructive behaviors while sexually maltreated
children have been found to engage in more self-directed
destructive behaviors (Taussig and Litrownik, 1997). Children
who are spanked show more aggressive behavior towards their
peers (Strassberg et al., 1994).
Preschoolers who witness their parent’s death through
violence exhibit a mixture of emotional and behavioral
disturbances and are at risk for developing aggressive behavior
(Payton and Krocker-Tuskan, 1988). They often develop a
conflicting sense of loyalty, and can even develop aggressive
behavior as if to identify with the aggressor
