High-quality parental relationships, and strong connections to schools and neighborhood communities, can help reduce violent and nonviolent offenses among youth, including those who have experienced maltreatment, according to research conducted by Child Trends experts. Findings indicate that youth who experienced maltreatment are at higher risk of becoming involved with the justice system. The research also examines protective factors that can benefit children who have experienced maltreatment, and aims to help families, communities, and schools understand how these factors affect potential involvement with the justice system.
