Why Does Abuse Happen?

When we think about the reasons that abuse happens we need to consider the following factors:

• Adults most at risk – why are some people more likely to be abuse than others?
• Setting – does being in care home or a domestic setting make it more likely for some types of abuse
• Context – is the person socially isolated, relationships involving power, dependency
• People who may abuse – who are they, what pressures make them abuse?
