Recent Research Findings on the Longterm Consequences of Childhood Maltreatment

Wed, Nov 16, 11:00am to 12:20pm, M303, Marquis Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel draws on data from the Midwest longitudinal study begun in 1986 to study the "cycle of violence". A large group of abused and neglected children and demographically matched controls were followed up and assessed in adulthood over several waves of the study. These papers will focus on different consequences, including examinations of (1) whether neighborhood characteristics over time influence criminal trajectories; (2) whether attachment insecurity mediates the relationship between childhood maltreatment and violent offending; (3) whether abused and neglected children are at increased risk for stalking victimization; and a final paper (4) that applies a racial lens to the “cycle of violence”. Implications of these findings will be discussed.
