Cycle of violence

This article is about broader pattern of violence and intergenerational cycle of violence. For the social cycle theory within one couple's pattern of abuse, see Cycle of abuse.

The term cycle of violence refers to repeated and dangerous acts of violence as a cyclical pattern,^[1] associated with high emotions and doctrines of retribution or revenge.^{[citation needed]} The pattern, or cycle, repeats and can happen many times during a relationship.^[1] Each phase may last a different length of time and over time the level of violence may increase.^{[citation needed]}

It often refers to violent behavior learned as a child and then repeated as an adult, therefore continuing on in a perceived cycle.^[2]

Cycle of violence within a relationship

A cycle of abuse generally follows the following pattern:^[1]

• Abuse – The abuser initiates agressive, verbal or physical abuse, designed to control and oppress the victim.
• Guilt – The abuser feels guilty for inflicting abusive behavior, primarily out of a concern of being found guilty of abuse than feelings of sympathy for the victim.
• Excuses – Rationalization of the behavior, including blame and excuses.
• "Normal" behavior – The abuser regains personal control, creates a peaceful phase in an attempt to make the victim feel in the relationship.
• Fantasy and planning – thinking of what the victim has done wrong how he or she will be punished and developing a plan to realize the fantasy.
• Set-up – the plan is "put in motion."

A cyclical nature of domestic violence is most prevalent in Intimate terrorism (IT), which involve a pattern of ongoing control using emotional, physical and other forms of domestic violence and is what generally leads victims, who are generally women, to women's shelters. It is what was traditionally the definition of domestic violence and is generally illustrated with the "Power and Control Wheel"^[3] to illustrate the different and inter-related forms of abuse. Intimate terrorism is different than Situational ccouple violence, which are isolated incidents of varying degrees of intensity.^[4]

A general, intricate and complicated cycle of traumatic violence and healing map was developed by Olga Botcharova when she worked at the Center for International Studies.^[5]

Intergenerational cycles of violence

Intergenerational cycle of violence – violence that is passed from father to son or daughter, parent to child, or sibling to sibling.^[6]

Children exposed to domestic violence are likely to develop behavioral problems, such as regressing, exhibiting out of control behavior,^[7] and imitating behaviors. Children may think that violence is an acceptable behavior of intimate relationships and become either the abused or the abuser.^[8]

An estimated 1/5 to 1/3 of teenagers subject to viewing domestic violent situations experience teen dating violence, regularly abusing or being abused by their partners verbally, mentally, emotionally, sexually and/or physically. 30 to 50% of dating relationships can exhibit the same cycle of escalating violence in their marital relationships.^[9]
