Abstract

Research indicates that individuals with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are more likely to offend, and that some ACEs, such as offending and child maltreatment, are transmitted from one generation to the next. However, the extent to which ACEs are transferred across generations and its subsequent impact on offending has not been examined. Using data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, this study examined the intergenerational transmission of ACEs and the extent to which this was associated with offending in the second generation. Although parental ACEs increased the likelihood of the subsequent generation’s ACEs, other risk factors attenuated this effect. Additionally, ACEs’ impact on the second generation’s convictions was also weakened after controlling for other risk factors. This provides evidence of intergenerational transmission of ACEs and additionally the effects of ACEs on the risk of offending. However, these associations are not straightforward and other risk factors likely play an important role in elucidating these relationships.

全家人？儿童不良经历的代际传播及其对不良行为的影响

研究表明，有不良童年经历（ACE）的人更有可能冒犯他人，一些ACE，如冒犯和虐待儿童，会代代相传。然而，ACE跨代转移的程度及其对犯罪的后续影响尚未得到研究。利用剑桥犯罪发展研究的数据，这项研究考察了ACE的代际传递，以及这与第二代犯罪的关联程度。尽管父母的ACE增加了下一代ACE的可能性，但其他风险因素减弱了这种影响。此外，在控制了其他风险因素后，ACE对第二代定罪的影响也有所减弱。这提供了ACE代际传播的证据，此外还提供了ACE对犯罪风险的影响。然而，这些关联并不直接，其他风险因素可能在阐明这些关系中发挥重要作用。
