Comprehensive Analysis of Domestic Violence from an Intergenerational Perspective and State Responsibility

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of family violence from a state and intergenerational perspective. That is, it studies how patterns of violence are transmitted from one generation to another and the relationship between direct victims and the wider family circle. Through a case study, this article analyzes the responsibility of the state in the intervention and creation of effective policies to combat family violence. Specifically, the importance of a collective approach that combines psychological, legal and economic support for victims is highlighted. With the analysis of theories such as the one proposed by Castillo, Licham and López in 2021 on the learning of violence from one generation to another or Walker's domestic cycling in 1979, this article examines the psychological and social impact of domestic violence. Through the review of existing research and literature, this article concludes that early intervention and the creation of effective policies based on the reality of the family dynamics in which violence is exercised are vital to breaking the cycle of violence. and prevent intergenerational transmission.
