Going to NCJRS.org and using the keywords abuse and delinquency, please read at least four articles that link juvenile delinquency to abuse either physical or sexual. [My initial search brought up over 500 "hits"]. Write a one page critique of your views of the research. How does the impact of child abuse [physical and/or sexual] and neglect connect to the child committing violence or even status offenses? What are some of the suggestions for prevention or intervention that the research recommends? Include the URLs or titles of research so others can read the original research. Post your responses to the threaded discussion. We will be reading and commenting on these topics during the course of the week.

Child abuse is a menace that is devouring the peace and happiness of innumerable 
innocent children across the globe. Gaining access to the Website of the National 
Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), one may find in details, through the 
published articles, how child abuse can lead to a bleak future for the victim. Often it has 
been observed that juvenile delinquents are the products of childhood abuse that not only 
inflict harm on the physical growth of a child, but also devastate a child’s mental build 
up. In the article, “Cumulative Childhood Risk and Adult Functioning in Abused and 
Neglected Children Grown Up,” Horan and Widom (2015) have pointed out child abuse 
is thoroughly related to the chances for the victims to develop delinquent behaviors in the 
long run. The authors have found that “exposure to a greater number of childhood risk 
factors was significantly related to fewer years of education, more anxiety and depression 
symptomatology, and more criminal arrests in adulthood.
