Abstract

With the secondary data extracted from the work of Daisy and Hien (2014), this paper examines the significant relationship between the problem of child abuse and intimate partner violence. The paper shows that child maltreatment or child abuse is a strong causative factor of intimate partner violence. It presents an explanation that intervening variable; (substance use) may exist in between child maltreatment and intimate partner violence. Th e paper argued that women who experienced child maltreatment are very prone to the use of substances which consequently makes them to be violent against their partner (25% n=13) and some (50% n =26) were both victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence. The significant relationship between women who experienced child maltreatment and used substance was X (1=N148) = 7.35, p=<007 and the significance between women who used substances and perpetrated violence toward their partner was X (1,=N148) 12.69, P = >< . 001. Hence, child maltreatment is significantly related to the use of substances and the use of substances also significantly related to the problem of intimate partner violence. The paper recommends that the problem of child maltreatment and intimate partner violence be given a very wide publicity and that government must establish where parents and partners can be taught the good acts of parenting and intimate partnership. The counseling and therapy centers were also recommended to be created by the government for the counseling and treatment of both the perpetrators and the victims of child maltreatment and intimate partner violence. Finally, it is recommended that strict laws should made against child maltreatment and intimate partner violence and the offenders must be arrested and prosecuted by a special law enforcement agency to be established by governments.
