Current family policy approaches emphasise the significance of
paternal involvement in children's lives, yet there has been a
silence on violent and abusive fathering in these discourses. This
is the first UK book to specifically focus on violent fathering
discussing original research in the context of domestic violence
and emerging practice literature to address this problem. Violent
fathering and the risks to children examines fathers' perceptions
of their domestic violence and its impact on children, their
relationships with children and their parenting practices. It looks
at fathers' reasons for wanting contact with children
post-separation, abusive parenting practices during child contact
and the impacts of perpetrator programmes on the fathers' own
perceptions of their abuse. It also discusses abused mothers'
perceptions of their ex-partners' parenting. The author recommends
ways that policy and practice can be improved in order to safeguard
children in family law and child protection practice through a
better understanding of the risks posed and appropriate assessment
of violent fathers as parents. This book will be of interest to
academics and students in family and child welfare policy,
socio-legal studies, social work, criminology, gender studies and
other disciplines with an interest in domestic violence and child
protection. It will also be also be of considerable value to
professionals working in this area.
