From the Paper:

"In our society, there has been an increasing identification of the occurrence of domestic violence for the past two decades. There are many types of domestic violence like physical mistreatment, sexual exploitation, emotional assault, and maltreatment to property and pets. Domestic violence is prevalent and takes place in all socioeconomic groups. A study of about 6000 American families were done, which showed that between 53% and 70% of male assaulters regularly ill-treated their children. Children from homes where domestic violence takes place are bodily or sexually ill treated and/or critically ignored at a rate 15 times the national average. Roughly about 45% to 70% of battered women in protection have stated the occurrence of child abuse in their home."
