The statement that would be supported by scientists who research cycles of violence across generations in a family is:
**Child victims of abuse are more likely to become abusive as adults.**
This statement reflects the findings of many studies on the intergenerational transmission of violence, indicating that individuals who experience abuse in childhood are at a higher risk of becoming abusers themselves in adulthood. The other statements are either overly deterministic or not supported by the majority of research in the field.
