This article examines the links between violence perpetrated by parents and subsequent victimization in a sample of 510 Italian women attending different health and social services, using both quantitative and qualitative data. Almost one quarter of the respondents reported some kind of abuse by one or both parents, fathers' violence being more common than mothers'; 9.6% had suffered subsequent sexual violence, and 18.2% had experienced partner violence. Violence by one or both parents during childhood—especially mothers' violence—was associated with an increased risk of suffering from sexual violence and from partner violence.
