The main objective of this current research was to find out the significant
reasons which lie beyond the Domestic violence against children and to
examine the impact on their socialization. Domestic violence is a kind of
negative behavior of mate partner’s in a family, which disturbs all family
members in a house home, specially their children. Particularly the
children at the age of 6 to 12 years are at risk of witnessing the domestic
violence. The study illustrates how this behavior affects the upbringing
and socialization of children physically, mentally, psychologically,
emotionally and socially as well. It’s a noticeable fact that home
environment brings a deep impression on children behavior; children
coming from broken families and witnessing violence at home are mostly
in high risk getting indulged in criminal and anti- social activities. This
study will highlight those issues related to domestic violence and their
reasons and will suggest suitable remedies to eradicate these issues.
