Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal Special Issue

Focus of this Training

Rising economic inequality is one of the defining features of our time. Considering the vast amount of social science devoted to understanding the causes and consequences of rising economic inequality, it is surprising that so little research has considered the extent to which economic inequality shapes child maltreatment. This special issue on the rise of economic inequality and its consequences for child protection aims to address this gap with 8 scholarly papers.

Research Methodologies

While focusing on inequality and its association with child maltreatment, studies in the special issue apply an increased level of methodological rigor by including some dimension of time or longitudinal design. Further, the unit of analysis varies across the papers with three major types of studies: (1) Individuals, caregivers and families (2) County level data (3) Cross-level interactions between children and family caregivers within their environment. Together, they offer a multilayered perspective on the processes that underlie the relationship between rising economic inequality and child maltreatment.
