The role of placement experiences in mediating the criminal consequences of early childhood victimization.
Abstract
The disposition of a large sample of early childhood abuse and neglect cases was followed up via criminal records. The majority of the children were placed outside the home, primarily in foster care. Kinds of placement and factors affecting placement decisions were examined. Differences in arrest rates were found between children placed solely because of abuse or neglect and those placed for abuse or neglect in conjunction with delinquency. Similar results were found for foster care placement. Placement alone did not appear to increase risk of criminal behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
