本文比较了以前被虐待和忽视的儿童谁避免了犯罪和成人犯罪的官方记录与那些谁没有。这项分析的目的是发现可能起到缓冲或保护受虐待儿童今后不犯罪和犯罪作用的潜在中介变量。希望这种分析将促使其他人考虑受虐待和被忽视者中的”刀枪不入”者，以便我们最终了解如何保护他们。就作为结果的”能力”而言，这些调查结果必须被视为初步的。事实上，人们几乎只关注”暴力的代际传递”，而对其他潜在后果缺乏关注。事实上，人们对受虐待和被忽视儿童的长期命运知之甚少。他们能活下来吗？在那些幸存下来的人中，他们仍然是脆弱的，还是有些人在成年后相对”脆弱但有弹性”？在20世纪60年代早期和70年代，对儿童虐待和忽视的研究集中在识别综合征和记录相对短期的有害影响（Elmer 1967; Martin et al. 1974; Smith and Hanson 1975; Steele and Pollock 1974）。在20世纪70年代和80年代，作家们集中在”暴力的循环“上，
THIS paper compares previously abused and neglected children who have avoided official records of delinquency and adult criminality with those who have not. The goal of this analysis is to uncover potential mediating variables that may act to buffer or protect maltreated children from later delinquency and criminality. It is hoped that this analysis will provoke others to consider the" invulnerable" among the abused and neglected so that we might ultimately learn what works to protect them. In terms of" competence" as an outcome, these findings must be treated as preliminary.Volumes have been written about the proclivity for abused and neglected children to become delinquent and violent offenders. Indeed, there has been an almost exclusive focus on the" intergenerational transmission of violence" and lack of attention to other potential consequences. Very little, in fact, is known about the long-term fate of abused and neglected children. Do they survive? Of those who survive, do they remain vulnerable, or are there some who are relatively" vulnerable but resilient" in their adult lives? In the early 1960s and 1970s, research in child abuse and neglect concentrated on identifying the syndrome and documenting relatively short-term detrimental effects (Elmer 1967; Martin et al. 1974; Smith and Hanson 1975; Steele and Pollock 1974). In the 1970s and 1980s, writers concentrated on the" cycle of vio-
