Notes:	States that research from the last two decades has shown that interpersonal violence is both predictable and preventable. Reviews the literature which examines primary prevention of the numerous risks associated with future abusive behaviour in children. Lists and explains the prevention strategies which will decrease risk in the areas of prenatal care, mother-infant interaction, empathic care, parent-child bonding, parent-child and sibling relationships, exposure, genetics, neurological vulnerabilities, brain trauma, psychiatric differences and prevention policy. Asserts that, as resources are inequitably applied to curing rather than preventing problems, reactive rather than proactive solutions are pursued, to the detriment of effective risk prevention strategies.
