This paper compares previously abused and neglected children who have avoided official records of delinquency and adult criminality with those who have not. The goal of this analysis is to uncover potential mediating variables that may act to buffer or protect maltreated children from later delinquency and criminality. It is hoped that this analysis will provoke others to consider the "invulnerable" among the abused and neglected so that we might ultimately learn what works to protect them. In terms of "competence" as an outcome, these findings must be treated as preliminary.
本文将那些避免留下犯罪和成年犯罪官方记录的曾受虐待和被忽视儿童与未避免留下此类记录的儿童进行了比较。该分析的目的是揭示可能起到缓冲或保护受虐待儿童以免日后出现犯罪行为的潜在中介变量。希望这一分析能促使其他人关注受虐待和被忽视儿童中的“未受影响者”，以便我们最终能了解哪些措施对保护他们有效。就“能力”这一结果而言，这些发现必须被视为初步的。
