TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Aggressive and delinquent behavior of maltreated adolescents: risk factors and gender differences JO - Stress, trauma and crisis A1 - Wall, Ariana E. A1 - Barth, Richard P. SP - 1 EP - 24 VL - 8 IS - 1 N2 - Data from a national probability sample of children assessed following child maltreatment reports were examined to identify child- and parent-level risk factors that are predictive of aggression and delinquency for maltreated youth and to identify gender differences. Subjects were aged 11 to 15 years (n = 739). Males reported greater caregiver relatedness and lower parental monitoring than females. Aggression and delinquency were predicted by age, below-average social skills, a low sense of caregiver relatedness, and being female. Interventions that target social skills and parenting may remedy some behaviors. Future research will examine this sample longitudinally and in greater detail.
