child victims becoming perpetrators

["Julie Rosof" <julie.e.rosof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think that is true -- the research focuses on correlational
relationships -- not cause/effect. See Bayes' Theorem of conditional
probabilities -- it explains why the different populations of abuse victims
and perpetrators can produce different findings.


Good luck- Julie Rosof-Williams, RN, MSN
