Unit 2 Assignment 1 Research

Physical Abuse Research

Age at First Maltreatment. A little more than half (53%) of the abused children in the Sullivan and Knutson (1998) study were maltreated at 4 years of age or younger. 

Physical Abuse doesn't always happen in the streets or in houses. It can also happen on the internet and people can be physically intimidating. The ratings for men doing physical abuse, is (72%). But the ratings for women doing physical abuse, is (28%). So it is mostly men, carrying Knifes around the street than women. Not just streets but also in school, where kids get bullied. Getting abused for their lunch money or stealing their phones.

I received some information by using a word search on ‘Google’ and typing in ‘charities for physical abuse’. Then i clicked on ‘Charity Matters Physical Abuse’.    

It then brought me to this page, that tells you what charities there are. This website tells you how Physical Abuse, is unacceptable and it also tells you, the best charities for Physical Abuse. But that is only if you are finding a charity your topic. So this website is good if you want to research charity matters of Physical Abuse. If you want to give money to this charity then their phone number is on this website.

  

This definition about Physical Abuse is right, but its not enough information. It can also be about bullying at school and blackmailing.
