Parents who physically abuse their spouses are more likely than others to physically abuse their children (Garbarino, & Garbarino, 1994).

Unit 6 Project: Troubled Youth Vulnerable in Crime HN200 November 23, 2011 The specific populations I feel is vulnerable in terms of crime are troubled youth. I chose this group for a few different reasons. The first reason is based off the statistics in the text showing a much higher percentage of 15 -17 age group pertaining to arrest rates over adults. This is dealing with violent crimes in the U.S. Secondly youth are easily influenced and will do almost anything to fit in, even if it means committing or being involved with crime.

The child prostitute has to endure feelings of hopelessness, abandonment, insomnia, nightmares and constantly being degraded by the johns and the pimps. These unfortunate children have to live with the mental anguish of feeling betrayed by adults that are supposed to be protecting these children rather than exploiting them.
