| dc.description.abstract | The research examined the impact of parental alcohol abuse on domestic violence and child neglect in Pakwach Town Council, Pakwach District. The research was guided by social learning theory and ecological theory. The researcher used a descriptive survey design with mixed methods. Data was collected from 60 respondents including parents, children, social workers, probation officers and community leaders through questionnaires and interviews. Findings revealed that parental alcohol abuse in Pakwach Town Council was influenced by poverty, stress, social acceptance of drinking, easy availability of alcohol, peer influence and weak law enforcement. The research showed that alcohol abuse contributes to domestic violence through increased conflicts between partners, physical aggression, emotional suffering and children witnessing violence. It further contributes to child neglect through failure to provide basic needs such as food and clothing, lack of proper supervision, school absenteeism and emotional neglect.The research concludes that parental alcohol abuse significantly contributes to domestic violence and child neglect and recommends strengthened control policies, community sensitization, family counseling services and child protection interventions. | |
