Recurrent Maltreatment During Childhood: A Survey of Referrals to Police Child Protection Units in England

The aims of this study were to identify patterns of abuse and neglect over time and compare recurrent maltreatment by the same perpetrator with recurrent maltreatment by different perpetrators. The sample consisted of 400 referrals to police child protection units, 24% of which were subjected to at least one rereferral within the 27-month follow-up. The greatest risk of referral was in the first 30 days. A study of 54 firsttime referrals who were later rereferred showed that 57% had suffered repeat victimization by the same perpetrator, 25% suffered revictimization by a different perpetrator, and 18% suffered both. Police response was not related to either the rate or type of rereferral, although one quarter of perpetrators have been previously in contact with the police. The most predictive warning signs of rereferral were family psychiatric problems, drug or alcohol abuse, in addition to child learning difficulties, behavioral problems, or previous referrals.
