Purpose: We examine two research questions. First, does a history of childmaltreatment victimization significantly increase the likelihood of maltreatment perpetration during adulthood?

Adolescents, and especially male adolescents, make up a disproportionately smaller portion of maltreatment reports compared to younger children.

Research has documented that maternal expressed emotion-criticism (EE-Crit) from the FiveMinute Speech Sample (FMSS) predicts family conflict and children’s externalizing behavior in clinical and community samples.

Objectives: Evidence suggests that childhood maltreatment may negatively affect not only the lifetime risk of depression but also clinically relevant measures of depression, such as course of illness and treatment outcome.

Objective: Few studies have attempted to describe the range of cognitive impairments affecting people who have experienced child maltreatment.

The current study examines the relationship between aspects of social service availability and child maltreatment. Specifically, the study uses negative binomial regression to estimate whether service availability, accessibility, and receipt are associated with physical child abuse and neglect.

The extreme parenting experiences encountered by children who are physically abused or neglected place them at increased risk for impaired socio-emotional development.
