We used child welfare workers' definitions of neglect or, in the absence of this, defined \"neglect\" as harmful acts of omission by a caregiver (failure to do something necessary for a child's well-being). We included the views of child welfare practitioners with or working toward a social work qualification and those completing statutory child protection investigations, whatever their qualifications. Thirty-nine studies met the criteria for review. Quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and Gough's Weight of Evidence framework. Themes were identified iteratively and synthesized using a narrative method. The review found evidence that high caseloads and work-related stress might result in neglect receiving lower priority for intervention. The threshold for statutory intervention also appears to be influenced by the availability of non-statutory support services. These findings suggest that greater investment in services, particularly early intervention, may help children experiencing neglect receive sufficient, timely, and proportionate support. We also found that practitioners find it challenging to evidence neglect, and this can result in delays intervening, suggesting that practitioners may benefit from training and support in court skills.</p>","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"15248380251320987"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children who reside in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are more likely to be exposed to violence yet their representation in published studies is often limited. Here, we conducted a systematic review to examine the evidence regarding the association between childhood violence exposure and cognitive outcomes assessed up to age 11 in children from LMICs. EMBASE, Medline, and PsychInfo were systematically searched to identify cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies published from inception to May 2023. All studies were assessed for risk of bias. We identified 17 studies that met our inclusion criteria, encompassing 27,643 children from 20 LMICs. Children were exposed to maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and war. Cognitive outcomes assessed included cognitive development (<i>n</i> = 9), executive functioning (<i>n</i> = 6), general intelligence (<i>n</i> = 2), language (<i>n</i> = 2), and memory (<i>n</i> = 1). A majority (71%) of the studies found a relationship between violence exposure and poor cognitive outcomes in childhood. Our findings suggest associations between different forms of violence and poor cognitive outcomes in children in LMICs. An increased investment in prevention is needed to tackle this human rights violation, and early interventions are important to ensure that LMIC children achieve their full potential.

Drawing from developmental theories by Bowlby on attachment styles, Young on Early Maladaptive Schema (EMS), and Erikson on psychosocial development (i.e., Sense-of-Self), we propose a conceptual model to explain this mechanism. A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review was conducted to synthesize evidence in support of this hypothesis. Three databases (<i>PsycINFO</i>, <i>PubMed</i>, and <i>Web of Science</i>) were searched, with additional manual searching using Google Scholar and reference tracing. A total of 17 peer-reviewed studies met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that attachment styles may moderate, while EMS mediate, the link between IF-CV and relationship violence. These findings suggest that attachment may function as a primary protective factor against the cycle of violence, through its effect on EMS. Aspects of Sense-of-Self, such as self-control, self-blame, self-worth, and self-esteem, also emerged as strong contributors to the mechanism. However, none of the studies have investigated identity resolution as a potential mediator of the pathway. Neither have the three factors (attachment, EMS, and Sense-of-Self) been studied previously in relation to one another. The effect of gender is inconclusive, while the impact of age has not been examined in any of the papers.

Yet, no prior research has reviewed the state of the science on laws and policies designed to prevent or address TDV. Thus, the objective of this scoping review was to identify existing global, empirical research on law and policy for TDV prevention and intervention at the municipal, provincial/state/territorial, or federal/national levels. Through comprehensive searches in eight databases in February 2022 and January 2024, we located 4,826 articles for potential inclusion. From this pool, articles were included if they focused on adolescents and on TDV-relevant law or policy at the local/municipal/school, state/provincial/territorial, or federal/national level(s), and were published in a peer-reviewed journal in English between January 1983 and December 2023. Following title/abstract screening and full-text review, 19 studies were ultimately included.

Likewise, incarcerated individuals who were young, male, non-White, gang-affiliated, and had behavioral health issues were generally more likely to engage in assaultive behavior. Facility factors like security level and programming were also associated with staff assaults.
