Which age group is most likely to be the victim of family violence?
A) 0-19 B) 20-40 C) 41-60 D) 61-100
Majority think that victims are below 20 years of age. Thismay be because the public feels that the people around this
age are unable to protect themselves from their family. This
was also supported by the school counsellor.
Most think that abusers are 36-50 years of age. This maybe because people around this age have more stress. To
relieve their stress, they might use violence. This
statement is also supported by the school counsellor.
Which age group is most likely to be the culprit of family violence?
A) 0-19 B) 20-35 C) 36-50 D) 51-65

What kind of family violence do you think usually happens in Singapore?
A) Child Abuse B) Spouse Abuse C) Elderly Abuse D) Other
We can infer that the public think that child abuse is morecommon in Singapore. This can be due to the facts that
child abuse cases are more commonly published, and that
children are not as able to protect themselves.
Most think that family violence is mostly caused by stress.
Overloaded schedules induce large amounts of stress,
which the abuser releases through violence.
Which factor do you think causes family violence?
A) Escapism B) Family upbringing C) Stress D) Misunderstanding
