There is evidence that violence may pass from generation to generation. Children who witness their mothers being abused are more likely as adults, to batter their partners than children raised in a nonviolent home. However, not all people who batter were raised in violent homes, so this is only a partial explanation of why some people choose to use violence. On the other hand, there is no evidence that girls whose mothers were battered are more likely to be battered themselves. In fact, the only common factor among battering victims is that they are usually female. |
