This descriptive study aimed to investigate the association between violence in the family, school and community experienced by school children/adolescents of the city of São Gonçalo (RJ), Brazil. Questionnaires were administered to the mothers/guardians to assess violence in the family and school and to children to check their perceptions of community violence. Multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis, two exploratory descriptive techniques, were employed. Data from 280 schoolchildren were analyzed. A total of 43.9% of mothers reported that their children had been physically abused in their homes. With regard to children's/adolescents' perception of community violence, 93.2% said they had experienced or witnessed these events in their communities. For both sexes there was the formation of a cluster of categories with the presence of violence among siblings, presence of severe physical assault and verbal assault committed by parents. Among girls, the presence of violence in the school formed a cluster with the highest category of violence in the community. In conclusion, it should be emphasized that public policies aimed at dealing with violence should expand their scope to the various forms of violence affecting children.
这项描述性研究旨在调查巴西里约热内卢圣贡萨洛市学童/青少年在家庭、学校和社区所经历的暴力之间的关联。对母亲/监护人进行问卷调查，以评估家庭和学校中的暴力情况，并对儿童进行调查，以了解他们对社区暴力的看法。采用了多重对应分析和聚类分析这两种探索性描述技术。对280名学童的数据进行了分析。共有43.9%的母亲报告称，她们的孩子在家中遭受过身体虐待。关于儿童/青少年对社区暴力的看法，93.2%的人表示他们在社区中经历过或目睹过这些事件。对于两性而言，在兄弟姐妹间存在暴力、父母实施严重身体攻击和言语攻击的情况下，会形成一类聚类。在女孩中，学校中的暴力与社区中最高等级的暴力形成一类聚类。总之，应强调的是，旨在应对暴力的公共政策应将其范围扩大到影响儿童的各种暴力形式。
