Just as someone gets picked on in the street, the person in the classroom develops the same “gang mentality” except the gang he chooses to join the police force.

The Forgotten Epidemic Domestic abuse remains one of the most easily accessible yet detrimental crimes in the entirety of the nation. Abuse not only affects the victim, but also family and friends surrounding the two in direct contact.
