1. What is Child Abuse and Neglect?

Discuss its effect to the development of

child’s behavior.

Answer:

Child abuse is clearly defined as an abuse against children in different

means, physical, sexual and emotional. Neglect is the rejection of a
parent or guardian to his/her children. It has different effects to the
development of child’s behavior. It can make a child delinquent as a
response to any act. A child is still developing his/her behavior and by
abuse and neglect he/she could develop a different behavior that is
against our community or social norms.

2. Why do victims sometimes return to or stay with abusers? Does this

situation correlate to the theory of Precipitation? Explain carefully

Answer:

Victims would rather stay or return with the abuser than sleep alone
without food and shelter, especially for women and children. This may
correlate or may not to the theory of precipitation, this may depend on
the situation that both the victim and the suspect are involved. Victims
may sometimes return or stay with the abuser with different reasons, the
topic is broad. As to the theory of precipitation define as the victim is
viewed as an active participant in the crime, he/she is the one who acts
first and encourages or provokes the offender to commit the crime. If the
offender is a normal human being without insanity or mental
disorder/disability, this would not provoke him to commit a crime if the
victim returns to him/her.
