Content: Domestic violence is also strongly linked to substance abuse among the perpetrators. The U. S. Department of Justice found that in domestic violence cases, 61% of the perpetrators and 36% of the victims had a substance abuse problem. The most common substance abused was alcohol. Males can be victims of physical abuse, especially in homosexual relationships, but the statistics for abuse against men are more poorly documented than for abuse against women and children. Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse of a child refers to sexual behavior between an adult and child or between two children, one of whom is forcefully dominant or significantly older. Sexual behaviors can include touching breasts, genitals, and buttocks while the victim is either dressed or undressed. Sexual abuse behavior also includes exhibitionism, cunnilingus, fellatio, or penetration of the vagina or anus with sexual organs or objects. Pornographic photography also is a form of sexual abuse of children. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that one in six victims of a sexual assault are under age 12. Despite publicity surrounding cases where a child is assaulted by a stranger, almost all sexual assaults against children are perpetrated by a family member (e.g. father, stepfather, aunt, uncle, sibling, cousin) or family intimate (e.g., a live-in lover or friend of the parent).
