Phenomenon Of Abuse Research Articles

"I remember most of my family seeing it": The presence of others during child physical abuse, as conveyed in forensic interviews with Israeli children.

Child physical abuse is often perceived as a crime perpetrated within the family and out of sight. However, recent studies have indicated the presence of others during incidents of physical abuse. The current study was designed to examine the experiences and perceptions of children who were physically abused in their families concerning the presence of others, as conveyed during their forensic interviews. A thematic analysis of 26 forensic interviews was conducted with Israeli children aged 5-13. Three main themes were identified: (1) Patterns, roles, and coping mechanisms: The multifaceted spectrum of familial abuse; (2) The echoes of family reactions: Shaping children's abuse experiences; and (3) Navigating the storm together: Sibling bonds amidst familial abuse. The children's narratives highlighted their distress and pointed to the abusive and chaotic daily routine in which they lived. In spotlighting their encounters with physical abuse, the children focused on their need to be seen and gain certainty in their daily routines. The discussion highlights the unique and elusive dynamics of families in which child physical abuse occurs and challenges the social perception that physical abuse occurs secretly. The characteristics of such abuse highlight the urgent need for policymakers and professionals to treat the phenomenon of physical abuse within the family as a visible phenomenon.

Rethinking Lifetime Abuse in Old Age.

Research on abuse is often piecemeal and focused on specific forms, populations, and social situations. As a result, these studies tend to ignore the web of abuse resulting from the interactive effects of various forms of abuse over the life course, together referred to as "lifetime abuse." An examination of abuse from the point of view of older adults is likely to provide a lifetime perspective based on linking child abuse to elder abuse over the life course and an assessment of its consequences. Despite the growing awareness and resulting body of knowledge regarding this phenomenon, proposed theoretical formulations about it remain limited. The present article aimed to conceptualize the multifaceted phenomenon of lifetime abuse and to gain a deeper perspective of the topic by understanding its dimensions, meanings, and experiences in older age, based on a critical review of empirical studies. A model is suggested, which can be useful for future exploration and understanding of lifetime abuse. Based on a critical review of previous studies, we suggest a theoretical framework of lifetime abuse from the perspective of older adults, identifying three key domains: (a) perception of time and life review in old age; (b) cumulative and interactive abusive life events; and (c) resilience versus vulnerability over the life course. We propose a heuristic model to explore and understand lifetime abuse. We believe our proposed model is open to reflection and elaboration and is intended to raise questions that could enhance the need for our understanding of lifetime abuse in old age.

Civil Liability Resulting from The Phenomenon of Random Construction and Land Encroachment : Solution and Proposals

The phenomenon of random construction and land abuse is not a new phenomenon. It has been around for a long time, but it has become widespread after 2003 as it was limited before the mentioned date, Many cities, especially Baghdad, have witnessed the spread of the phenomenon of random construction, encroachment on land belonging to the state or owned by others, and the construction of random housing units that lack the minimum construction conditions Without adopting and not taking into account the urban and urban planning regulations issued by the Ministry of Planning, and due to the worsening housing crisis, the outrageous high prices and the absence of solutions, land abuse, abuse of state real estate and random construction have become the illegal alternative to housing It has become a problem with economic, social and environmental dimensions that clearly reflects the deficit in economic structures and a major social imbalance, making it a serious phenomenon due to its large size. It is no longer possible to ignore it. The continuation of this serious phenomenon will lead to environmental congestion and noise due to irregular construction, which affects the human rights enshrined in the Iraqi Constitution of 2005 as stipulated in Article/

Implementation Of Restorative Justice Approach In The Settlement Of Narcotics Crime Cases

The phenomenon of narcotics abuse is a serious problem that requires special handling, especially in Indonesia. Traditional approaches that emphasize criminal punishment have not proven to be fully effective in resolving this problem. This study examines the implementation of the restorative justice approach in resolving narcotics crime cases at the Bintan Police. The restorative justice approach emphasizes victim rehabilitation, perpetrator rehabilitation, and reconciliation between perpetrators and victims as an alternative to prison sentences. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal arrangements that support the restorative justice approach in narcotics cases, evaluate the implementation of this approach in the Bintan Police, as well as identify the obstacles faced and formulate relevant solutions. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with police officers, medical personnel, and other related parties, as well as analysis of applicable legal documents and policies. The results of the study show that although there are efforts to implement a restorative justice approach in the Bintan Police, the implementation is not optimal. The main obstacles faced include a lack of adequate rehabilitation facilities, limited understanding among law enforcement officials, and social stigma against narcotics addicts. The study found that better coordination between institutions, intensive training and socialization, and improved rehabilitation facilities are needed to overcome these barriers. Based on these findings, the suggestions given include increasing the capacity and quality of rehabilitation facilities by the government, further training for police officers on restorative justice approaches, and educational campaigns for the community to reduce stigma against narcotics addicts. With these steps, it is hoped that the restorative justice approach can be applied more effectively, providing a more humane and recovery-oriented solution in handling narcotics cases at the Bintan Police.

History of the development of the institute of law abuse in the states of the romano-german legal family

The article provides a historical analysis of the institution of abuse of law in the states of the Romano- Germanic legal family. In particular, with the help of a set of philosophical-worldview, general scientific, special scientific methods (primarily, dialectical, historical-legal and comparative-legal) and principles of scientific knowledge, the evolution of theoretical ideas about the abuse of law, their consolidation in legislation and practical implementation in individual states of the Romano-Germanic legal family (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France). It is argued that modern ideas about the abuse of law are based on the provisions of Roman law. Theoretical approaches to the abuse of law contained in the works of leading European legal scholars (A. Binder, T. Geise, W. Erman, L. Dugis, W. Siebert, V. Roberto and others) were analyzed. On the basis of a comparative analysis of normative legal acts regulating the issue of abuse of law (German Civil Code, Austrian Civil Code, Civil Codes of Switzerland, Spain and France), characteristic features and general trends of the legal establishment of the category “abuse of law” in the states of the Romano- Germanic legal system have been revealed family. It was established that theoretical approaches to understanding the category of “law abuse” were most actively developed by scientists in Germany and France. In particular, general approaches to the essence and features of the abuse of the right have been developed, mechanisms for counteracting the harmful exercise of the right, etc. have been proposed. At the same time, the legislation of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and France also uses the experience of other countries, transforming it through their own culture and traditions. This is due to certain features of the legislative establishment of the inadmissibility of the abuse of the right. It was concluded that due to the existence in the states of the Romano-Germanic legal family of a general ban on the abuse of law, legal science had the opportunity to investigate not only specific cases of unfair exercise of the law, but also the phenomenon of abuse of law in general.

Criminal Law Regulation and Conviction Standards of Cyber Violence: Taking the Crime of Cyber Insult and Defamation as an Example

With the advent of the Internet era, interpersonal communication in real space has gradually spread to cyberspace. Whether the legal regulation of real space should follow and restrict the behavior norms of virtual space has become an important issue discussed by the academic community. Although civil law and other laws have certain regulations on the cyberspace, it is not enough to rely solely on general laws such as civil law to limit the escalating problem of online violence in cyberspace. Therefore, discussing the intervention of criminal law has become of utmost importance. Due to the ease of making comments in virtual spaces, as well as the large number of people and a mix of good and bad, the phenomenon of insult, defamation, and wanton abuse is the most widespread. Therefore, online insult and defamation has become a typical manifestation of online violence. The provisions of China's criminal law on the crime of online insult and defamation are still relatively broad and lack specificity, which brings certain difficulties to judicial practice when facing serious consequences of online insult and defamation. By exploring the criminal law regulations and conviction standards for online violence, using case analysis and comparative research methods, the criminal law rules for online insult and defamation can be further refined, effectively punishing and timely preventing online insult and defamation, purifying the online environment, safeguarding the rights and interests of netizens, and promoting the further development of criminal law in virtual space.

DRUG ABUSE AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN ALGERIA: THE CASE OF TEBESSA PROVINCE

The study discusses the phenomenon of drug abuse and its relationship to the spread of domestic violence directed against women and its impact on the lives of abused women in the state of Tebessa - Algeria. These actions are considered violations of a system of moral values that are unacceptable within society, because they have repercussions on its most important social system, which is the family. The study used the descriptive approach because it helps in understanding social phenomena in their natural context, as the phenomenon is documented and described in a detailed and accurate manner. The snowball sample was relied on, which represented a group of women who were exposed to various types of domestic violence resulting from drug abuse and practiced against them. The interview tool was relied upon to collect data and information. The results of the study showed that drug abuse is related to the spread of domestic violence against women, as this affects the quality of family life. Drug abuse is also considered one of the causes that contribute to the spread of violence against women, and has led to disturbance and disintegration of family relationships and ties. This requires combating the phenomenon of drug abuse, because eliminating it in turn includes eliminating all the various social phenomena within the social and family structure.

DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC ABUSE SCALE (EAS); ESTABLISHING CONTENT VALIDITY OF EAS

Economic abuse involves behaviors that control a woman’s ability to acquire, use, and maintain economic resources, thus threatening her economic security and potential for self-sufficiency (Adams, Sullivan, Bybee, & Greeson, 2008). Woman battering is a prevalent social problem committed against millions of women each year. Battering involves psychological abuse, physical abuse, and economic abuse as well. Economic abuse is the area which is less focused as compared to other forms of battering. The objective of present study was to develop an indigenous scale that would explore the phenomenon of economic abuse faced by married Pakistani women as currently there is no such indigenously developed measure of economic abuse available in Pakistan. Present study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a pool of items was generated. In phase two, Content Validity for EAS was established. The Scale CVI was 0.93. All 41 items were retained and were transformed into a 5-point rating scale. The psychometric properties of scale will be established using factorial validity.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR OF YOUTH IN NSUKKA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, ENUGU STATE

Debates over the years, have favored the assumption that individuals who engage in substance abuse have high proclivity to demonstrate antisocial behaviours as direct consequence of substance abuse. But with increase in different psychotropic substances and reports of wide spread substance abuse, this study attempted to revisit youth substance abuse with the hope of ascertaining the current nature of substances they abuse, the extent to which they abuse it, how the abuse relates to their antisocial behaviours, the consequences of the above on them, the challenges associated with the mitigation/control of youth drug abuse and measures that could be adopted to address the phenomenon of youth drug abuse and antisocial behaviours. The study is anchored on containment theory and based its analysis on quantitative data obtained from randomly selected sample of five hundred and ninety-four (594) youth, and qualitative data obtained from purposively selected nine (9) interviewees. Data collected using questionnaire were coded and analyzed with SPSS Version 21 for descriptive and inferential result, while the qualitative responses were transcribed and analyzed to provide in-depth insights, using direct quotes and illustrations. The study found a significant positive correlation between the extent of substance use and degree of indulgence in antisocial behaviours. Property related antisocial behaviours like theft, armed robbery and vandalism were all found to relate with different forms of substance abuse. Measures like youth empowerment, access to counselling services, public sensitization, police border patrol, and increasing the cost of regularly abused substances could be improved to reduce youth drug abuse.

Comorbidity of mental disorders in synthetic cannabinoids abuse: clinical dynamics, behavior, adaptation

IntroductionThe study of the phenomenon of deformation of mental disorders, clinical dynamics, behaviors, and adaptations in case of abuse of synthetic cannabinoids is of relevance.ObjectivesTo study the phenomenon of deformation of mental disorders, clinical dynamics, behaviors, and adaptations in case of abuse of synthetic cannabinoidsMethodsCatamnestic, clinical-psychopathological methods (PANS, SANS, CGI, MMPI, CGI, STAI, LSI, TPA, ICD-10), statistical (Python 3.11.0).Results291 men (age from 18 to 35 years) were examined: 240 - F12.2xx, of which 98 - F60.xx-F62.xx, 142 - F20.xx and 51 - F20.xx without substance abuse. The study took place from 2018 to 2023 based on psychiatric institutions of the Russia, Tomsk region, St. Petersburg, Noyabrsk and Nizhnevartovsk.ConclusionsThe phenomenon of abuse of synthetic cannabinoids is a factor in the deformation of mental disorders. Persistent exogenous visual and delusional disorders contribute to the symptoms of exacerbations of schizophrenia; schizophrenic symptoms are included in psychotic episodes in personality disorders. In remission of schizophrenia, there is a quasi-adaptation from socio-professional environments, mostly addictive and criminalized, a pronounced smoothing of emotional impoverishment, a stigmatizing symptom is mainly a volitional defect, as well as frequent rehospitalizations not indirectly related to drugs. In remissions of drug use in patients with personality disorder, persistent schizophrenia of behavior. In patients with schizophrenia and patients with personality disorders, there is a distortion of behavior with a predominance in patterns of inclinations to delict, nonconformity, isolation in an addictive environment, suspiciousness. Drug abuse may initiate auto-aggression predominantly in individuals with personality disorders and to a lesser extent in patients with schizophrenia. True suicides in drug users include only episodes with depressive symptoms.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Development and validation of the intention to report child abuse tool: A psychometric research study

BackgroundThere is a lack of comprehensive and concisely validated tools to measure schoolteachers' intention to report child abuse and neglect in an Arabic context. This study aims to develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of the Intention to Report Child Abuse Tool (IRCAT) to measure schoolteachers' intentions to report child abuse and neglect. MethodsThe framework proposed by Benson and Clark (1982) was used to guide scale development. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) and literature review guided the construction of the IRCAT items. Total of 653 Arab female schoolteachers from 200 cycle 1 education schools in Oman were recruited in the study using convenience sampling technique. The validity of the tool was determined by assessing its face validity, content validity, and construct validity. Psychometric properties were tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Inter-item correlations and internal consistency were used to determine the reliability of the tool. ResultsThe newly developed IRCAT demonstrated excellent face and content validity. Using EFA, four factors (i.e., attitudes, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and intention to report) were determined for construct validity (KMO = 0.92). The tool also showed good overall internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82) and acceptable inter-item correlations (varied between 0.003 and 0.62, with about 20% of the correlation coefficients below 0.1). ConclusionThis study suggests that the IRCAT is a valid and reliable tool to assess schoolteachers' intention to report child abuse and neglect in an Arabic context. Implications to practiceIRCAT tool can be utilized by researchers and practitioners interested in investigating the phenomenon of child abuse.

A Proposed Educational Guide to Enhance the Role of the Jordanian Secondary School Administration, and in Raising Awareness among its Students about the Seriousness of the Phenomenon of Drug Abuse

This study aimed to find out the reality of the role of the Jordanian secondary school in educating its students about the danger of the phenomenon of drug abuse from the point of view of school principals and teachers, by identifying the reality and importance of the school’s role in dealing with the phenomenon of drugs. Governmental secondary schools in Jordan and the study sample consisted of (766) principals and teachers who were chosen by the stratified random method. The study used a questionnaire consisting of (29) items whose validity and reliability were confirmed.The estimates of the study sample for the areas of the awareness-raising questionnaire on the seriousness of the drug abuse phenomenon came at a high level, where the (teachers) field came first at a “high” level, and the (school curricula) field came in the last place at a “medium” level. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education adopt the proposed educational guide to activate the school’s role in educating students about the danger of the drug phenomenon, and emphasize the need to spread awareness among school students to be a feature of their personality and part of their composition, through curricula, activities, teaching methods and evaluation.

Power Literacy in Abuse Prevention Education: Lessons from the Field in the Catholic Safeguarding Response

The phenomenon of sexual abuse by Catholic leaders has led to many responses by clergy, dioceses, and the global Catholic Church. One underexplored aspect of preventing sexual abuse by Catholic leaders is the educational practice of abuse prevention and the moral implications therein. Here we examine best practices for abuse prevention by turning to the interdisciplinary study of intimate partner violence and prevention education as tools for deeper theological exploration of safeguarding initiatives. Using these interdisciplinary insights, we offer theological grounding for power and relationship education in abuse prevention, identifying children’s moral agency, right relationship, a theology of power literacy, and structures of vice as key components in the phenomenon of pervasive abuse. We explain the analysis of safeguarding materials conducted as part of Fordham University’s Taking Responsibility grant initiative, and our concerns regarding the lack of best practices and theological gaps noted in our review—gaps related to social ethics, power, and the structural or communal effects of abuse. We conclude with recommendations for developing future safeguarding training, rooted in a relationship-based, systemic understanding of abuse, used to create our own safeguarding workshop for adolescents.

The phenomenon of elder abuse and ways of prevention and intervention

In today’s world abuse committed against the elderly receives much less attention than against women and children. There are several aspects because it is very important for elder abuse to receive at least the same amount of publicity: respect of the elderly, teaching our children the correct standards, serving as prevention, that the phenomenon exists, and thus teaching the younger generation that one type of abuse is not accepted either. Our aim with this paper was to draw attention to the importance gerontological research on elder abuse. Therefore, after describing the types of abuse, we present international and national prevalence data. We look at how to get help in Hungary and the possible reasons why older adults do not seek help. Finally, by presenting the World Health Organization's criteria, our aim is to point the way to solving the problems raised in the study. We would like to present the topic from several aspects so it helps the people to recognize the typical signs of potential abuse. Abuses against the elderly can also happen at the institutional and family level. Nevertheless, it can also occur in public, because the elderly can be categorized as endangered as children and women, because they have similar characteristics like defencelessness, naivety and weaker physicality. Also, it should be mentioned, because as we will see later, based on the opinion of the World Health Organization (WHO), it also includes the lack of help and action and how much people act altruistic. The fact that the WHO (2022) urges the fight against abuse of the elderly in the next few years indicates the actuality of the theme. The purpose of the study is to highlight the importance of elder abuse in the professional public consciousness.

İNGİLTERE VE TÜRKİYE'DE ÇOCUKLARLA ADLİ GÖRÜŞMEYE İLİŞKİN MEVCUT DURUM DEĞERLENDİRMESİ

Child maltreatment is a social problem that is emphasized and researched around the World. The phenomenon of sexual abuse is different from other types of abuse, since there is no eyewitness other than the victim and perpetrator. Children exposed to sexual abuse are sometimes pressured by family members to keep secret or deny what happened because the abuser is a family member which makes it difficult to reveal sexual abuse. Forensic interview is one of the most important tools in order to obtain information about what happened from the child who is the victim of abuse. The fact that the forensic interviewer is an expert in the field increases the probability of getting a full and correct answer from the child victim of abuse. The history of forensic interview with a child in the UK is older than in Turkey, the process that started in the late 1970s accelerated in the 1990s. The process of forensic interviewing with children in Turkey gained momentum especially with the publication of the Child Monitoring Center circular in 2012. It is pleasing that the number of Child Monitoring Centers affiliated to the Ministry of Health and Forensic Interview Rooms affiliated to the Ministry of Justice has increased rapidly since 2012. There is no forensic interview protocol yet in Turkey. It is believed that it would be appropriate to prepare a forensic interview protocol as soon as possible with the studies carried out on this subject. This article initially focus on investigative interviewing of children and then discuss the important components that may impact the children’s testimony. Interview aids, cognitive interview, multiple interviews with children and the role of interviewer will be outlined. In addition to that, investigative interviewing of children in the UK and Turkey will be discussed.

Single Case Study: Malaysian Male Chinese Young Adult’s Decision to Leave Abusive Romantic Relationship

With an emerging phenomenon of emotional abuse among Malaysian male young adults in romantic relationship, this single case study aims to explore the experiences and decision-making processes of Malaysian Chinese male young adult who decided to terminate an emotional abusive relationship. Case study method allows the full coverage and in-depth investigation towards this current phenomenon. This study utilizes three data collection methods, they are semi-structured interview with follow-up interview, psychometric tests, and social media texts analysis. The theoretical framework of this study includes FOG – Fear, Obligation, Guilt, Four Horsemen of Apocalypse, and Choice Theory Reality Therapy. Seven themes emerged to capture the experiences during and after the abusive romantic relationship, which are ‘interactive abuse’, ‘over thinking’, ‘emotional distress – guilty, helplessness, and fear’, ‘progressive abuse’, ‘positive and negative self-condition’, ‘internal conflict’, and ‘prioritization of self-value’. Three themes are pointed out to explain the decision-making process of Malaysian male young adult, which are ‘self-centred decision’, ‘fear of losing’, and ‘prioritization of mental health’. The implications of findings, limitations of the study and recommendations for future research are discussed.

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES OF MANIPULATIONS AND ABUSE AS FORMS OF UNEQUAL SOCIAL EXCHANGE

Relevance. Denoted as the presence of deficiency, weak ordering of scientific opinions on classification criteria, differentiation, and description of manipulation and abuse (especially, psychological abuse) processes with current cultural and practical demand.
 Objective. A comparative analysis of manipulation and abuse (physical and psychological) phenomena as forms of unequal social exchange, the process and consequences of their implementation in particular was made.
 Methodology and basic concepts. The search of relevant literature on the topic with the help of which definitions and criteria describing and differentiating these phenomena were formulated.
 Results. As procedural criteria for comparison the author considers the attitude towards subjectivity of an abused/manipulated object (the simulation of subjectivity and its destruction); the influence targets (the motivational sphere, understanding of one’s needs or physical/psychological conditions for the implementation of volition); the subject of exchange (a wide range of possible resources, such as the need for security). As a result, the differences between manipulation and abuse is that in the first case motivational bases of the object’s activity gets distorted, but generally remains functioning, while in the second case the activity is interrupted and violated, and the exploitation implements through the desubjectivation. Thus, the consequences of manipulation are majorly associated with possible disorders of the motivational sphere, while the experienced abuse might affect mental qualities related to volitional functions, which determine not the direction of the one’s activity, but the activity itself, i.e., potentially a wider range of deformed structures.

DETERMINATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING DRUG USE USING THE FUZZY AHP METHOD AT THE NORTH SUMATRA PROVINCIAL NATIONAL NARCOTICS AGENCY (BNNP)

The phenomenon of drug abuse is primarily observed within the population characterized by experimental drug use, with a particular emphasis on individuals who are actively employed. Several factors, such as socioeconomic status and peer influence, have been identified as influential contributors in the occurrence of drug misuse. The objective of this study is to ascertain the determinants that impact individuals engaged in drug usage through the application of the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The data for this research is derived from internal agencies, which aim to identify the elements that contribute to drug users' susceptibility to addiction and the subsequent development of drug dependency in individuals. The factors included in this study encompass Environment ( ), Family ( ), Economy ( ), Education ( ), and Personality ( ). The utilization of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for conducting data analysis methodologies. The AHP method yielded a value of λ=8.927, a CI of 2.65, and a CR of 87.39%. Moreover, during the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) phase, it was determined that the primary determinant of drug abuse is (environment), exhibiting the highest average score of 0.8321, equivalent to 83.21%, in comparison to other components

Numerical study on thermal characteristics under external short circuit for Li||Bi liquid metal batteries

As one of the most potent battery technology, liquid metal battery (LMB) plays an important role in addressing the requirement of grid energy storage. However, up to now, few attention has been paid to the heat generation characteristics and thermal safety of LMB, including the conventional and abusive conditions. In this paper, a 2D axisymmetric multi-physics field model coupling electrochemistry, heat transfer, and laminar flow is proposed to evaluate the electro-thermal behavior of 200 Ah Li||Bi LMBs under the states of constant current (CC) cycle and external short circuit (ESC). Verified by the experimental data, the maximum fitting errors of the voltage and temperature are 4.61% and 0.42%, respectively. The reversible and irreversible electrochemical heat generation rates are calculated to assess the total heat power (9.14 W during 0.2 C discharge and −5.06 W during 0.2 C charge). The reversible heat rate is found to occupy a large proportion in the total heat generation, while the percentage of irreversible heat is shown to increase with the increasing current rate. Based on the analysis of CC cycle, the model is applied to investigate the battery electro-thermal performance in ESC failure. The results show that the ESC current and surface temperature vary with the short-circuit resistance and initial state of charge (SOC). The lower ESC resistance and initial SOC may lead to a severer temperature rise due to the unique entropic heat behavior. The maximum current and temperature reach 455.8 A and 549.3 °C in 5 min (100% SOC, 0.1 mΩ). This work provides an important opportunity to advance the understanding of heat generation and abuse phenomena induced by ESC in LMB.

Rola nauczyciela wczesnej edukacji w identyfikowaniu i reagowaniu na przejawy przemocy domowej – między prawnym obowiązkiem a odpowiedzialnością moralną

This is a theoretical paper which presents the role of early childhood education teachers in identifying and responding to domestic violence. Two contexts are used: moral responsibility and legal obligation (resulting from the provisions of the relevant legal acts). The focus is on early childhood education teachers, being aware that along with medical staff, they are the most likely to detect and intervene in cases of child abuse up to the age of ten. The article aims to fill in the gap in publications focused on the role of education workers, including early education teachers, in responding to manifestations of domestic violence, as well as their insufficient participation in activities within the violence prevention framework. It may be an incentive to verify the course of studies curricula in terms of content conducive to building the readiness of future teachers to take responsible actions to minimize the phenomenon of child abuse.
