Young men growing up around parents who are physically violent to each other are 43% more likely to carry out violence or abuse in their own relationships, new research by the University of Bristol has found. This finding could not be explained by other factors in the person’s background, and suggests that if the families of young boys who grow up in violent households are better supported, this could prevent some future violent or abusive relationships.
