October, the Multnomah County Domestic Violence
Coordinator's office was given the opportunity
to participate in a new federal demonstration
project through the Office of the Attorney
General. The Defending Childhood
Initiative, launched by Attorney General Eric
Holder in response to the findings of the
National Survey on Children's Exposure to
Violence, seeks to address violence exposure by
raising awareness of the problem of children's
exposure to violence, helping to prevent
exposure, and providing effective services and
treatment for children who have already
experienced violence.</SPAN></P></SPAN><SPAN

October of 2010, eight sites began their
Defending Childhood Initiative demonstration
projects. </SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Since
then, an expansive collaborative effort has been
launched throughout Multnomah County to engage
state, county, and city agencies, service
providers, school districts, non-profits, and
community members in a strategic planning
process. This collaborative will work to
develop a comprehensive and coherent approach to
enhance prevention, intervention, and awareness
of children's exposure to violence that builds
on our existing foundation of services to
children and families. There is an
opportunity for additional on-going funding
after the demonstration project is completed,
and Multnomah County will be pursuing these
funds for the implementation of our strategic
plan.</SPAN></P>

issue of children's exposure to violence is a
national crisis. According to the findings
of the National Survey, over 60% of America's
youth have been exposed to at least one form of
violence in the past year, and nearly 40% have
been exposed to multiple forms of
violence. In light of these findings, the
Defending Childhood Initiative has become a
priority for the Attorney General, and Multnomah
County hopes to do its part to help reduce
childhood exposure to violence in our
community.</SPAN></P>

recent National Survey on Children's Exposure to
Violence (NatSCEV) investigated children's
exposure to a wide range of violence, including
conventional crime, child abuse, sexual
victimization, peer and sibling victimization,
dating violence, and witnessing domestic
violence.<SPAN> </SPAN>This study found
that over 60% of children ages 0 to 17 will
experience some form of direct or indirect
victimization during their lifetimes, and almost
40% are exposed to multiple forms of violence.
It also found that domestic violence is one of
the most common forms of direct or indirect
violence experienced by children, with
approximately 1 in 10 children witnessing
domestic violence during the past
year.<SPAN> </SPAN>Although significant
numbers of children in all age groups witnessed
domestic violence, not all suffered significant
trauma symptoms.</SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">The
NatSCEV study confirmed the already
well-documented association between domestic
violence and child abuse. Looking at past-year
exposure to violence, the NatSCEV study found
that 1 in 3 children who witnessed domestic
violence were also victims of child
abuse/maltreatment, compared to 8.6% of
nonwitnesses. Looking at lifetime rates, the
study found that more than half (56.8%) of
children and youth who witnessed domestic
violence also experienced some other form of
child maltreatment in their lifetimes. As found
in previous studies, the NatSCEV study found
that physical child abuse had a particularly
strong association with domestic violence, with
nearly 1 in 3 children/youth who witness
domestic violence also experiencing physical
abuse compared to fewer than 1 in 20 for
children/youth who have never witnessed domestic
violence. </SPAN></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">The
study also found that some specific types of
victimization have uniquely strong associations
with witnessing domestic violence.
Three-quarters of children who experience
custodial interference, for example, have also
witnessed partner violence. Put another way,
about 1 in 5 children and youth who experience
custodial interference have a lifetime history
of witnessing domestic violence, compared to
only 1.5% of children who have never witnessed
partner violence. A similar strong association
was found with sexual abuse by a known adult.
More than 70% of children and youth sexually
abused by a known adult had also witnessed
domestic violence. The risk of dating
violence is also significantly higher for youth
who have witnessed domestic violence, with a
nearly fourfold increase in lifetime risks for
dating violence.</SPAN></P>

<P
style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">While
this and previous studies consistently
demonstrate that domestic violence frequently
overlaps with child abuse, this national survey
found that, surprisingly, domestic violence was
also associated with virtually every form of
child or youth victimization, even forms of
violence that are very different from domestic
violence such as property crime. In general,
children who witness domestic violence are 3 to
9 times more likely to experience some other
form of violence than children who do not
witness domestic violence. However, it is
important to note that despite this significant
overlap, it should not be assumed that children
who have witnessed domestic violence have also
experienced other victimizations, nor should it
be assumed that children who have experienced
other victimizations have also witnessed
domestic violence. </P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Multiple
victimization experiences can have significant
consequences for children. This study found that
children who experience many different types of
violence tended to have worse trauma symptoms
than children who experience only one form of
violence, even if that single form of violence
is severe and chronic. Thus, a child who is
exposed to only domestic violence - even if it
is chronic and severe - is likely to fare better
than a child who exposed to multiple types of
violence, even if those multiple types of
violence are less severe. The researchers also
suggest that exposure to domestic violence may
be a key component in creating conditions that
lead to other forms of victimization, and
recommend that services for both adult domestic
violence victims and child victims be better
integrated and take these overlapping risks into
consideration. Finally, the researchers
recommend that collaborative efforts and service
models that emphasize help and protection for
both the child victim and the adult victim
should be the norm.</SPAN></P>
