Abstract

This article polemizes with the Graziano (1994) article, "Why We Should Study Subabusive Violence Against Children," and tries to indicate that in the field of research studies on parental violence against children not only methodological or theoretical issues need to be questioned. Cultural and ethical origins of family violence and social biases leading to the legitimization of parental violence should be the center of attention.
