“…Although marginally significant, we found that the provision of child support services reduced the risk of resubstantiation for child neglect cases ( p = 0.056). This finding is in line with findings from previous studies that reported positive effects of service provisions (Jang et al, ; Jenkins et al, ; Jonson‐Reid, Emery et al, ; Kang et al, ). However, these effects were not significant in other maltreatment cases.…”

“…Some studies have found that increased contact with CPS workers and the provision of child welfare services increase the risk of being rereported for child maltreatment (Bae, Solomon, & Gelles, ; Connell et al, ; Drake et al, ; Fluke et al, ; Fuller & Nieto, ). Other studies have found that receiving child welfare services decreases the risk of repeated occurrences of child maltreatment (Jang et al, ; Jenkins, Tilbury, Hayes, & Mazerolle, ; Jonson‐Reid, Emery et al, ; Kang et al, ). Thus, further investigation is needed to clarify this contradictory finding.…”

“…This is also true for studies on the recurrence of child neglect. Only a small number of studies have focused on investigating the etiology and consequences of repeated incidents of CPS involvement for child neglect cases (Jonson‐Reid, Emery, Drake, & Stahlschmidt, ; Kang, Bae, & Fuller, ; Logan‐Greene & Semanchin Jones, ). The majority of studies have pooled all maltreatment cases to investigate the recurrence of child maltreatment (Connell, Bergeron, Katz, Saunders, & Tebes, ; Fluke, Shusterman, Hollinshead, & Yuan, ; Jang, Kim, & Kim, ; Kim, ; Yoo et al, ).…”

While a high prevalence of child neglect cases has been reported by Child Protective Services (CPS) in Western countries, child neglect cases reported to South Korea's Child Protection Agency (CPA) present different trends than those in Western countries. Nevertheless, child neglect is an understudied area within child welfare. Thus, a need exists to investigate the unique characteristics of child neglect cases substantiated by the CPA in Korea. This study investigates the unique characteristics of child neglect cases and examines how factors associated with the resubstantiation of these cases differ from those of other maltreatment cases. Using CPA administrative data, we employed a multilevel discrete‐time hazard analysis to analyze the risk and protective factors associated with the resubstantiation of child neglect cases and compared the results with other maltreatment cases. In both cases, younger children, perpetrators with alcohol problems, families receiving welfare, and months of agency operation were associated with resubstantiation. For child neglect cases, the provision of child and parent services, and CPAs located in metropolitan area were protective factors that reduced the risk of resubstantiation. The finding in this study highlights the need to expand the provision of services to child neglect cases to prevent resubstantiation.

“…The final class solution varied across studies using child samples, ranging from three (Villodas et al, 2012) to five (Kang et al, 2015) latent classes. All of these studies employed analytical approaches that allowed for the effects of predictors or outcomes to be compared across all identified classes of maltreatment and not one study tested for measurement invariance (see Table 3).…”

“…Of the four studies using child samples, all included an indicator of neglect when modeling their latent classes of maltreatment. Notably, all of the studies distinguished between subtypes of neglect and two uncovered more than one class characterized by the occurrence of some form of neglect (Kang et al, 2015; Petrenko et al, 2012). For instance, Petrenko and colleagues (2012) identified a class of children characterized by supervisory neglect and a class characterized by co-occurring physical abuse and supervisory neglect.…”

Latent Classes of Maltreatment: A Systematic Review and Critique

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article reviews and critically evaluates available research on latent classes of maltreatment. Three major databases (PsycINFO, Web of Knowledge, and Academic Search Complete) were used to identify studies on latent classes of maltreatment published before June 1, 2016. Of 365 potentially relevant studies, 14 met inclusion criteria for review. Our analysis was guided by the following questions: (a) What observed indicators are being used to model classes of maltreatment? (b) What are the most commonly identified classes of maltreatment? and (c) What are the predictors and outcomes of classes of maltreatment? Across the studies, findings demonstrated how person-centered methods (i.e., latent class/profile analysis) may facilitate the study of maltreatment by concurrently addressing several methodological limitations common to the study of maltreatment, while also addressing heterogeneity in experiences of maltreatment. After providing an account of existing trends within the literature employing person-centered methodology in the study of maltreatment, we offer a critique of extant research, note recent methodological developments, and make numerous recommendations for future research using person-centered approaches to understanding maltreatment.

Maltreatment is a complex and multidimensional construct. Several types of maltreatment exist, but not all of them necessarily co-occur. In the last decades, researchers have tried to untangle the heterogeneity of maltreatment. However, few studies have been carried out outside the U. S. and none of the previous studies had considered all stages of maltreatment. In this study, we aimed at exploring latent profiles of maltreatment in a sample of 635 children and adolescents enrolled at different intervention plans within the Child Protective Services (CPS) in the Valencian Community, Spain. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was performed. Profiles were based on the five types of maltreatment (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect and physical neglect), as measured by the Chilhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form. Moreover, associations between the emerging profiles and sociodemographic, health- and school-related variables were also examined. Three profiles of maltreatment were found: “Relative low maltreatment” (58.58%), “Neglected” (35.92%), and “Severely abused and neglected” (5.5%). Then, profiles were contrasted with the reasons why court dictated maltreatment status of the child/adolescent to validate the maltreatment profiles. Results regarding the cumulative nature of maltreatment and its severity suggest tailoring public policies by level of risk of maltreatment. This study further proposes moving the focus of action from individuals themselves to the elements that characterize different maltreatment profiles, with the aim of protecting them. Future research ought to expand knowledge on maltreatment profiles in other European countries so as to promote generalization of results.
