Violence in its various forms is a concern for social work in all fields of action. Professionals have a particular responsibility when the violence arises in the context of a structural power relationship, as when it is exercised against children in families, in couple relationships or in institutions. The book brings together current knowledge about this violence: It clarifies terminology and provides an overview of the manifestations, prevalence, consequences, sources and conducive conditions as well as the legal aspects of violence. With reference to the three contexts, the particular dynamics of violence are analyzed and conclusions for prevention and intervention are drawn. The textbook thus provides the basic knowledge about violence in dependency relationships and offers impulses for practice at the same time.
