Answer
Previous history of abuse, Social isolation
Explanation
The question is asking for two increased risk factors of abuse. Firstly, a previous history of abuse often tends to expose a person to an even greater risk of abuse. Past experiences exposes the person to patterns of abusive behavior which they become accustomed to, enhancing the risk of rupture in future interactions. Secondly, social isolation also increases the risk of abuse. The lack of social interaction and support, can make a person particularly susceptible to abusive behavior as they do not have a protective network of social contacts. On contrary, having a religion is not directly linked to an increased risk for abuse, nor is having money necessarily a risk factor for increased abuse– it may even protect against it due to better access to resources.
