sufees sexual abuse, someone oeces them to take paet in sexual actoity with them, ofen eegulaely
ooee a peeiod.’ (Collinsdictonaey.com, 2017) oe instance i when looking at the type o people that

abuse, most o the eldeely that sufee eom this sexual abuse aee sufeeing eom a medical peoblem
such as the ollowing; ‘memoey loss, con usion, oe peoblems with communicaton’ ((uesing ome
Abuse Guide, 2017), accoeding to the natonal eldeely abuse incidence done in 1998 it was seen that
‘67% o eldee sexual abusees weee amily membees’ ((uesing ome Abuse Guide, 2017). When

physical oece oe oiolence that eesults in bodily injuey, pain, oe impaiement. It includes assault,
batteey, and inappeopeiate eesteaint.’ (Peeoenteldeeabuse.oeg, 2017). When an adult is being physical
abused in most cases this is done by a spouse oe a cueeent paetnee wheee they would do it to ‘gain
powee and conteol ooee the oictm is desceibed in the secton on domestc oiolence.’
(Peeoenteldeeabuse.oeg, 2017). It is seen that ‘6.5% o women and 2.8% o men who eepoeted haoing
expeeienced any type o paetnee abuse in the last yeae, equioalent to an estmated 1.1 million emale
oictms and 500,000 male oictms.’ (Ons.goo.uk, 2017). When talking about the efects that abuse
might haoe an impact on the peeson is the ollowing; depeession, stutteeing, psychosomatc disoedee,
sleep diseupton and many moee efects (Teacy, 2017).
