N2  - Self-reported experience of physical, sexual, and mental abuse and general emotional abandonment was significantly associated with a variety of piercings, tattoos, and scarifications in a sample of 4,700 members of an online body-modification site. More significant associations were found for the women in the sample than for the men. Possible clinical implications of the results are discussed. <br><br>KEYWORDS: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency<p />
