Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children who are exposed to violence in the home and who live in neighborhoods with high rates of violence are most likely to engage in violent behavior. The exposure to violence in the home creates a distorted view of conflict resolution, while the high rates of violence in the environment reinforce the belief that violence is an acceptable solution to problems. Research has shown that this combination of factors significantly increases the likelihood of violent behavior.
