About the Tutorial

We begin with a definition of the word abuse.

If you Google the word "abuse" you'll get more than 410,000,000 references. What's interesting is that no two of the web sites that address the topic of abuse use the same definition of the word abuse.

More interestingly, no two teachers in any school, or any two judges in the world, have the same definition of the word abuse.

All the energy and money spent on preventing, eliminating, reducing, or controlling abuse is to no avail until we agree on a definition of what it is. —Kerry
