From the Paper:

"Throughout history, the greatest effect on society caused by domestic violence falls upon children. Children who watch their mothers being abused are likely to continue the vicious cycle. Studies show that violent juvenile offenders are four times more likely to have been raised in homes where they saw violence. Children who have witnessed violence at home are also five times more likely to commit or be victims of violence when they grow up."
