Document Summary
80% of all sexual assaults happen within the family or home. Because this happens in the family there is a low report rate. We have a trust in certain institutions that can result in putting people at risk of abuse. We do not either recognize it, do not talk about it or do not take action to stop. There is no strategic plan in place to protect and deal with these forms of violence. The failings we have in the home environment are the same failings we see in other institutions or environment such as schools, clubs, church, etc Such as only those of low economic level but there is evidence that is not significant different for those of middle to upper class. Not all people abused go on to be abusers. When we are looking at evidence we need to do a number of empirical studies and present the information.
