Family violence has become a popular social problem worldwide. In Vietnam, family violence tends to increase, leading to several serious consequences to individuals, families and society. There have been a lot of research on this field, but none of these has thoroughly reflected the nature of this issue. Therefore, research on family violence under the angle of sociology has to pay attention to overcoming these shortcomings, especially it has to effectively use sociological theories and suitable methods of research to draw some theoretically and realistically valuable conclusions. Besides, the research also proposes some effective solutions to minimize family violence, thus contributing to the stability of Vietnamese families.
