批判性地审视了广义上的“暴力滋生暴力”假设。文献综述分为七个部分，包括：（a）虐待滋生虐待假说;（B）少数暴力/杀人罪犯的报告;（c）研究虐待和忽视与少年犯罪、（d）暴力行为和（e）婴幼儿攻击行为的关系;（f）虐待、退缩和自我毁灭行为;（g）研究目睹或观察暴力行为的影响。在审查之前，将详细讨论方法上的考虑和缺点。作者的结论是，现有的知识虐待的家庭环境的长期后果是有限的，并建议，有关暴力循环的强度的结论是由缺乏令人信服的经验证据缓和。建议进一步研究。
Critically examines the "violence breeds violence" hypothesis broadly defined. Organized into seven sections, the literature review includes (a) the abuse breeds abuse hypothesis; (b) reports of small numbers of violent/homicidal offenders; (c) studies examining the relationship of abuse and neglect to delinquency, (d) to violent behavior, and (e) to aggressive behavior in infants and young children; (f) abuse, withdrawal, and self-destructive behavior; and (g) studies of the impact of witnessing or observing violent behavior. A detailed discussion of methodological considerations and shortcomings precedes the review. The author concludes that existing knowledge of the long-term consequences of abusive home environments is limited and suggests that conclusions about the strength of the cycle of violence be tempered by the dearth of convincing empirical evidence. Recommendations are made for further research.
