“…Child maltreatment is broadly defined as acts of commission, words or overt actions that cause harm (i.e., emotional, physical, and sexual abuse) and acts of omission, failure to provide for a child’s basic needs or protect a child from harm (i.e., emotional and physical neglect) ( Leeb et al, 2008 ). Numerous studies find a strong relationship between childhood maltreatment and aggression ( Chen et al, 2012 ; Hoeve et al, 2015 ). Maltreated children are found to show more aggressive behaviors reported by their peers, their teachers, their counselors, and themselves ( Shields and Cicchetti, 1998 ; Bolger and Patterson, 2001 ; Finzi et al, 2001 ; Weder et al, 2009 ; Alink et al, 2012 ; Shackman and Pollak, 2014 ; Dackis et al, 2015 ).…”
