Her correlations and trying to examin her causations were very consistant in each one of her studies even though she utilized boys, there was plenty of truth that has been consistent with the wide ranges of theories that we have read about.
The chart on page 90 has reeinforced what we have been talking about in the past 3 chapters with the focus being on battered women through 6 differnet mediums, those being: Being held hostage, Projection and Association, Poverty, Sexual Exploitation, FIghting Back, and
