This study examines physical and sexual revictimization in a random sample of incarcerated and poor, urban, nonincarcerated women using multiple measures of physical and sexual child abuse. Researchers used hierarchical logistic regression to compare rates of revictimization and the strength of the association between child abuse and adult victimization using two measures of child physical abuse and four measures of child sexual abuse. Incarcerated women had higher rates of revictimization than did nonincarcerated women. Child abuse and adult incarceration were directly associated with adult victimization; interactions between child abuse and incarceration were associated with adult victimization for only a few definitions of child abuse. Findings suggest that the relationship between child abuse and adult victimization is robust and that factors in incarcerated women's lives further increase the probability of adult victimization.
本研究使用多种儿童期身体虐待和性虐待的测量方法，在随机抽取的监禁和贫困的城市非监禁女性样本中调查了身体和性再受害情况。研究人员使用分层逻辑回归，比较了再受害率以及儿童期身体虐待和成人期受害的两个测量指标以及儿童期性虐待的四个测量指标之间的关联强度。监禁女性的再受害率高于非监禁女性。儿童期虐待和成人监禁与成人受害直接相关；儿童期虐待和监禁之间的相互作用仅与儿童期虐待的少数定义与成人受害相关。研究结果表明，儿童期虐待与成人受害之间的关系是稳健的，监禁女性生活中的各种因素进一步增加了成人受害的可能性。
