Feedback
A Correct: In the sociological model of family violence, family violence is viewed as a pattern of behavior that is passed from generation to generation. Although the form of abuse may change, the pattern continues. In one generation the abuse may be physical, but may change to sexual abuse in the next generation. Caregivers will construct similar abusive relationships with their own children based on their experiences of having violent caregivers.
B Incorrect: In the sociological model of family violence, family violence is not viewed as a pattern of harm within the nuclear family with no outside persons involved.
C Incorrect: In the sociological model of family violence, family violence is not viewed as any harmful action(s) between related persons no matter how distant the relationship is.
D Incorrect: In the sociological model of family violence, family violence is not viewed as harmful activities within a group designated as family no matter what the relationship.
