“Hurt People Hurt People”
That people who engage in bad actions towards others are often people who have been hurt themselves is not something that can be debated. It is true interpersonally, and it is also true with respect to academic victimology. However, while the concept of hurt people deciding to hurt others may be valid explanatorily, using this phrase as a justification for hurt people hurting others is something that needs to remain in 2022.
