“…These findings may be explained in the light of earlier findings, which indicated that duration and intensity of abuse are factors predicting the severity of the clinical picture [12,[25][26][27][28]. While there is no data on type of abuse in the present study, it is reasonable to assume that the very fact that the legal authorities have decided to Child Psychiatry Hum Dev (2007) 37:361-373 369 remove the children from their parents' custody is an indication of the severity of the abuse and neglect to which these children have been subjected.…”

“…As mentioned above, the effects of abuse are generally long-term and dependent on the duration of the abuse, its intensity and severity, the perpetrator's identity and the type of abuse [12,[25][26][27][28]. In the present study, children who were removed from their homes to an institutional setting as a result of neglect and abuse were examined.…”

In a prospective study, the attachment style, home-leaving age, length of time in residential care, and behavioral problems among Israeli residential care children (N = 68), were studied. Data analyses showed that children removed from their homes at a later age suffered from higher levels of anxiety, depression and social problems compared to children taken from their homes at the age of 7 or less. It was also found that a prolonged stay (over 2 years) in residential care was related to higher levels of anxiety and depression. An interaction effect of a child's attachment style and home-leaving age was found in the child's level of aggressive behavior.

“…In addition, as pointed out by Ferguson et al (1997), Krahé, Scheinberger-Olwig, Waizenhöfer, and Kolpin (1999), and Silverman et al (2001), victimization is related to certain sexual risk behaviors, such as early onset of sexual activity or multiple partners. Including number of dating partners is "a means to examine and control for the effects of duration of exposure to dating violence" (O' Keefe, 1997, p. 551).…”

The purpose of this study was to advance knowledge of dating violence behaviors among adolescent victims of child sexual abuse (CSA), first, by determining the prevalence of psychological and physical dating violence and the reciprocity of violence, and second, by investigating the influence of certain CSA characteristics to dating violence. Respondents included 126 females ages 13 to 17 years. More than 45% reported experiencing some sort of physical violence in their dating relationships. Psychological violence was reciprocal in more than 90% of the cases. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant contribution of CSA characteristics. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the duration of the sexual abuse and the presence of violence or completed intercourse during the abuse could significantly contribute to dating violence above and beyond other known risk factors. Discussion underscores the need to gain a better understanding of CSA and other risk factors that might influence violent dating behaviors.

“…The term ''revictimization'' is often associated with the work highlighting the link between childhood sexual victimization and sexual victimization in adolescence and adulthood among women (e.g.,Gidycz et al 1993;Humphrey and White 2000;Krahé et al 1999; Stermac et al 2002). Here we extend this idea of revictimization to also include intimate partner violence, focusing on the extent to which violent experiences may be replicated over one's life course.…”

The Transcendence of Violence Across Relationships: New Methods for Understanding Men’s and Women’s Experiences of Intimate Partner Violence Across the Life Course

The notion of transitions is an increasingly central concept in contemporary criminology and such issues are particularly significant in the study of intimate partner violence (IPV). Here, attention focuses on relationship dynamics and movement into and out of relationships for understanding long-term patterns of victimization over the life course. Still, a focus on transitions raises questions about how IPV is patterned over time and across relationships and how this contributes to stability and change in victimization risk over the life span. Our study examines this issue using data from the National Violence Against Women Survey. Findings from latent transition analyses reveal strong evidence for change in victimization experiences across the life course. Among women, those who experienced serious, multifaceted violence are most likely to transition out of relationships followed by transition into subsequent relationships characterized by conflict and aggression and a similar pattern is observed among men. At the same time, men who experience physical aggression in previous relationships are most likely to transition into non-violent relationships, while women with similar experiences are much less differentiated in the types of relationships they enter into. When we account for background characteristics (e.g., respondent's race, education, and age) and childhood experiences of parental violence, the latter is particularly significant in accounting for exposure to serious IPV in later adulthood. Such findings extend our understanding of how life course transitions connect to violence and offending and highlight processes of continuity and change beyond the traditional focus on criminal offending.
