Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many factors contribute to increasing or decreasing the occurrence of violence. Protective factors are factors known to reduce the likelihood of experiencing violence or increase one's resilience when violence is experienced. The relationship with the parents is considered a protective factor as the parents are connected and communicating with the child, which demonstrates a caring relationship. Other protective factors include access to services but are not relevant to the teenager's situation at present. Risk factors are factors known to increase the likelihood of experiencing violence. These include social isolation from family, peers, and others and high employment rates.
