Types of violence against children in the family

Abstract

Violence against children is a historical phenomenon and it got new definitions and expanded its dimensions by development of the society and primarily the development of humanitarian sciences. Many centuries have to pass from the time when punishment of children was considered moral, and even suitable corrective measure, to the complete incrimination of every form of violence. Today when violence against children is considered as a 'side effect' of society, it is necessary to make classification of the violence and in particular to divide types of violence depending on the manifestations of violence against the victim - child, although all types of violence, more or less, intertwine and influence on each other. The reason for classification is established in order to achieve efficient measures.
