Although this social phenomenon has existed in China for thousands of years, until recently family violence against wives, children, the elderly, and disadvantaged family members has not been a common concern. Research on family violence, such as its prevalence and related consequences, is also a relatively new field. As a result, the seriousness of family violence has not yet been fully considered. China’s very first Anti-Domestic Violence Law was passed in 2015 and it provided unprecedented legal protection to victims who suffer from domestic violence. In spite of its advancement in protecting family violence victims and deterring offenders, enforcement of the law remains a challenging task. By exploring and summarizing the existing literature and the relevant laws on family violence, this chapter addresses the relevant questions and extends the knowledge on family violence, as well as providing insight into its prevalence, and the legal and social responses in China.
