The psychopathological model suggests the characteristics of the abuser as the primary case of the abuse whereas the interactional model reflects that the child abuse happens because of dysfunctional system. The role of the child and the perception of child abuse as crime differs from one theory to another. The environmental–sociological–cultural model suggests that child abuse happens as a result of stresses in society and it can be considered as the primary causes of abuse.
