The Intergenerational Transmission Theory suggests that there are various levels of exposure to trauma as it pertains to abuse. The trauma can lead a likelihood involvement in abusive and violent relationships later in life (Fox‚ Robson‚ & Gover‚ 2005). The Intergenerational Transmission Theory states that those who experience abuse or witness abuse will develop an abnormal perspective of violence. Another theory is the Mimetic Theory‚ which states that those who are exposed to trauma are at a higher

This is a cycle that is difficult to break. Children also don’t always practice good hygiene and that makes them both susceptible to as well as good transmitters of disease. Many human infections are caused by either bacteria or viruses. Immunisation is available to prevent many important bacterial diseases
