A abstract from the attached article:
Quote:Abuse in families is an extremely complex problem with multiple causes. Recent research in this area shows that there are certain variables, which add to the likelihood of violence. Researchers are looking at the family system, personal histories, interpersonal skills and biochemistry to try to tease out the factors that contribute to aggression in families. At present, research has determined the attributes of violent men. Not much research has been conducted on women's violent behavior. I use the pronoun "he" in this article as most abusers are men. Men commit 95% of the violence, assault, rape and murder. Of course, in a broader sense, violence is a society issue as we all contribute to it when we do not stand up and say that it is wrong.http://www.angriesout.com/family.htm
