使用队列设计研究的前瞻性数据，涉及记录的儿童虐待和忽视的情况下，匹配的对照组，我们研究了两个潜在的途径之间的儿童受害和暴力犯罪行为：早期攻击行为和问题饮酒。结构方程模型，包括控制种族/民族，社会经济地位，父母酗酒，和父母的犯罪行为，揭示了不同的途径，男性和女性。对男性来说，虐待儿童有直接和间接（通过攻击性行为和有问题的酒精使用）的暴力途径。对妇女来说，酗酒是童年受害与暴力之间的中介关系，而且，与虐待儿童无关，早期攻击行为导致酗酒问题，进而导致暴力。对儿童期虐待受害者的干预需要认识到早期攻击行为和酒精问题作为随后暴力的风险因素的作用。
Using prospective data from a cohort design study involving documented cases of child abuse and neglect and a matched control group, we examine two potential pathways between childhood victimization and violent criminal behavior: early aggressive behavior and problematic drinking. Structural equation models, including controls for race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, parental alcoholism, and parental criminality, revealed different pathways for men and women. For men, child maltreatment has direct and indirect (through aggressive behavior and problematic alcohol use) paths to violence. For women, problematic alcohol use mediates the relationship between childhood victimization and violence, and, independent of child maltreatment, early aggression leads to alcohol problems, which lead to violence. Interventions for victims of childhood maltreatment need to recognize the role of early aggressive behavior and alcohol problems as risk factors for subsequent violence.
