520			_aThis thesis explores the impact of domestic violence on children, and its relationship to violent youth crime. The reactions of children who have witnessed violent assaults on their mothers, whether or not the children themselves have been abused, requires acknowledgement and understanding. This study provided a set of perspectives from groups of people who have evidence of the link between the impact of domestic violence and youth crime, but who are seldom consulted. The findings of the study indicate that children witnessing abuse is only one of many factors that leads to violent youth offending. These youth often come from families that are burdened with a number of problems and the lack of skills to cope with these.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
