  4. Caretakers as Abusers • NIBRS and CANDS agree that • Parents are the most common caretaker abusers • Male caretakers are responsible for most sexual abuse • Proportion of boys and girls that suffer physical abuse are about equal • Girls are sexually abused at a much higher rate (over 3 times as often)

  5. Correlates of Child Abuse and Neglect • More Common Among: • Lower income families (abuse rate for lowest income twice that of other families; neglect rate 3 times higher) • Children of single parents at higher risk • Large family size (4 or more children) • Physically neglected 3 times more often than those living in one child families, 2 times more often than 2-3 child families. • Parents who are violent towards each other • Observing vs. Being Abused

  6. Preventing Juvenile Delinquency Primary Prevention Social Change Secondary Prevention Early Childhood Tertiary Prevention Rehabilitation

  7. Secondary Prevention • Identify “At-Risk” children and intervene • Why not prevent rather than lock up on other end? • Politics? • Technology? • Are early “risk factors” related to delinquency? • Prenatal factors, early childhood factors

  8. Current Status of Prevention • “We tried that in the 1960s and it didn’t work” • Most programs never got off the ground • More often than not, they did work

  9. What should prevention programs “target?” • Currie • Child abuse and neglect • Children at risk • Impaired cognitive development • Behavior problems • Early school failure • Vulnerable Adolescents

  10. Child Abuse and Neglect • Why? • Consistent and strong relationship to delinquency, esp. early onset & serious • Programs • Prenatal Early Infancy Program (PEIP) • Hawaii’s Healthy Start Program • Similarity? • Reasonably long period of time, comprehensive
