520 _aThis doctoral dissertation is an exploratory, descriptive study of children's experiences and understandings of domestic violence. The data was drawn from group activities, discussions and life history interviews with children aged from 5-12 years old who were involved in a domestic violence education and support group in the Manawatu region of New Zealand. The study presents the findings in various ways including poetry, drama vignettes, and children's narrative voice in addition to the researcher's reflections. The study found that children make sense of domestic violence in many ways, incorporate their experiences of violence into their identities, and adapt, disrupt or reproduce knowledge about domestic violence in their own lives. The research identifies the role of compassionate social relationships in children's lives in terms of their safety and their ability to be resilient. The study has practical implications for domestic violence service delivery in New Zealand, and for applied research with children generally.
