TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - The psychosocial consequences of living environment instability on maltreated children JO - American journal of orthopsychiatry A1 - Herrenkohl, Ellen C.

SP - 367 EP - 380 VL - 73 IS - 4 N2 - The relationship between stability of living arrangements and adolescent deviance was examined for 212 adolescents in a longitudinal study of maltreated and non maltreated children. Transitions in caretakers and residences have a statistically significant relationship to 5 indicators of adolescent deviant behavior. While maltreatment in childhood poses a risk for later deviance in adolescence, the risk can be even greater for those who have experienced more transitions while growing up.
