Yes, they can reproduce these patterns: boys as aggressors and girls as victims, and this is explained by the theory of intergenerational transmission of violence. This theory refers to the influence that families exert on children who, exposed to this violence, learn to perpetrate or tolerate it as a consequence of social learning. They adopt beliefs that violence is devoid of its aggressive nature, and it becomes normalized in everyday relationships. It is estimated that in more than half of cases of intimate partner violence, there is also violence toward children. Furthermore, it has been shown that the rate of repetition of these violent behaviors in adulthood can exceed 30%.
