Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children of war experience a loss of a sense of safety due to living in a war zone or conflict-affected area. They also may become desensitized to violence and have a pessimistic view of the future due to their exposure to traumatic events such as death, destruction, and displacement. Late-onset adolescent delinquents, inner-city children, and children who grow up in large, single-parent families may also experience some of these characteristics, but they are not specific to these groups.
