From the Paper:

"The problem of domestic violence is multi-faceted. The literature review of the subject clearly demonstrates that there is no one cause and no single solution to the problem. The approach of removing the child witnesses of domestic violence and placing then in non-violent environments may not always be practical or helpful. The estimates of upwards of 10 million children annually whom are witnesses to domestic violence would create a strain of unimagined proportions upon the foster care programs across the country. The purpose of the study is to examine on possible solution to ending the generational cycle of domestic violence and reserving this solution to the most severe cases. It is unfortunately anticipated that this one measure will not be the cure-all of what is a national tragedy."
