Maltreatment or Abuse

Minn-LInK Edition 61: Integrating Data to Understand Adverse Childhood Experiences Among Minnesota Youth

For the first time ever, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) data will be available at the county and school district levels for Minnesota youth by integrating information from state administrative data sources and the Minnesota Student Survey. This integrated system will improve data-informed prevention planning by providing access to local community data for ACEs and related risk and protective factors known to influence the severity, incidence, and long-term impacts of ACEs.

Minn-LInK Edition 39: A prospective, longitudinal study of risk factors for delinquency among maltreated youth

Maltreated youth tend to enter into the juvenile justice system at younger ages than non-maltreated youth. Early onset of delinquency among maltreated youth compounds their risk of adverse developmental outcomes, including serious and continued offending. This study prospectively examined risk factors for maltreated youth who have their delinquency cases adjudicated for the first time between ages 9 and 14.
