Using a prospective cohorts design, a large sample of physical and sexual abuse cases was compared to a matched control group. Overall, abused and neglected subjects had higher rates than did controls for adult criminality and arrests for violent offenses, but not for adult arrests for child abuse or neglect. Findings are discussed in the context of intergenerational transmission of violence, and directions for future research are suggested.
采用前瞻性队列设计，将大量身体虐待和性虐待案例样本与匹配的对照组进行比较。总体而言，受虐待和被忽视的受试者在成年犯罪率和暴力犯罪被捕率方面高于对照组，但在虐待或忽视儿童的成年被捕率方面并非如此。研究结果在暴力的代际传播背景下进行了讨论，并提出了未来研究的方向。
