Description
A child’s exposure to violence, crime, and abuse can lead to serious health and well-being consequences that can last long into adulthood.
Results from research supported by NIJ showed that childhood abuse increased the risk of adulthood crime by promoting antisocial behavior during childhood and adolescence, followed by the formation of relationships with antisocial romantic partners and peers in adulthood.
