Background

Maltreatment victimization history is an established risk factor for child maltreatment across generations. However, many parents with a victimization history do not maltreat, and many parents with no victimization history do have victimized children.

Objectives

To understand differences in demographic and maltreatment risk factors across the following intergenerational patterns of maltreatment: cycle maintainers, cycle breakers, cycle initiators, and a comparison group (no maltreatment).

Participants and setting

Data were drawn from a large population-based cohort in Queensland, Australia and included 32,574 biological parents and their children. Maltreatment experiences as a victim or person responsible for harm towards a child were obtained from the Queensland Child Protection System.

Methods

Multinomial regression was completed with the full sample to compare the three maltreatment groups with the comparison group. Logistic regressions were conducted on all pairwise combinations of maltreatment groups. Models accounted for several demographic and maltreatment factors.

Results

Compared with breakers, maintainers were more likely to be Indigenous (OR = 1.86), never married (OR = 0.34), younger at first birth (OR = 0.87), have ≥3 children (OR = 1.99), be younger at first—and older at last—maltreatment victimization (ORs = 0.97 and 1.07, respectively), and experience a higher frequency of victimization (OR = 1.05). Amongst maltreaters, males were significantly more likely to be initiators while females were more likely to be maintainers (OR = .62). There were few other differences between initiators and maintainers.

Conclusions

Meaningful differences among the three maltreatment groups were revealed suggesting that research should focus on the intergenerational discontinuity of maltreatment.

“谁虐待?虐待儿童的代际(不)连续性的不同途径”

背景

虐待受害历史是跨代虐待儿童的既定风险因素。然而,许多有受害历史的父母并没有虐待,许多没有受害历史的父母确实有受害的孩子。

目标

了解以下代际虐待模式中人口统计学和虐待风险因素的差异:周期维持者、周期破坏者、周期发起者和对照组(无虐待)。

参与者和设置

数据来自澳大利亚昆士兰的一个大型人群队列,包括 32,574 名亲生父母及其子女。作为受害者或对伤害儿童负有责任的人的虐待经历来自昆士兰儿童保护系统。

方法

用全样本完成多项回归,将三个虐待组与对照组进行比较。对虐待组的所有成对组合进行逻辑回归。模型解释了几个人口统计和虐待因素。

结果

与破坏者相比,维持者更有可能是原住民(OR = 1.86)、从未结婚(OR = 0.34)、初生时更年轻(OR = 0.87)、有≥3个孩子(OR = 1.99)、起初更年轻——和更老的最后——虐待受害(OR = 0.97 和 1.07,分别),并经历更高的受害频率(OR = 1.05)。在施虐者中,男性更可能是发起者,而女性更可能是维持者(OR = .62)。发起者和维护者之间几乎没有其他区别。

结论

揭示了三个虐待群体之间的有意义的差异,这表明研究应该关注虐待的代际不连续性。
