Abstract
Severe child physical abuse is considered more prevalent than statistics indicate,
at least 1-2 children are documented to die at the hands of a parent/carer each
week in the UK. Records indicate that approximately 60% of these offenders are
male (Sidebotham, Brandon, Bailey & Belderson, 2011; Sinal et al, 2000).
Children living with unrelated males are more than 50 times more likely to die
than those who reside with both biological parents (Missouri, Schnitzer &
Ewigman, 2005). A paucity of research exists to understand the psychological
pathways of these male offenders. This article suggests a psychological agenda to
examine the pathways of these perpetrators. Discussion focuses on the value of
examining specifically the belief systems (cognitive distortions); personality traits;
impulsivity; self-esteem; empathy and attachment styles of this offender group.
