Participants (n = 167) comefrom a longitudinal study on child maltreatment. Out-comesincluding depression, anger, and anxietyare measuredby the Child Behavior Checklist and the TraumaSymptom Checklist for Children. The authors used adjustedmultivariate analyses to test the statistical significance of associations.The majority of children were female (57%) andnon-White (64%). One third had been physically victimized;46% had witnessed moderate-high levels of violence. Resultsconfirm that children are negatively affected by victimizationand violence they witness in their homes and neighborhoods.Victimization was a significant predictor of child aggressionand depression; witnessed violence was found to be a significantpredictor of aggression, depression, anger, and anxiety.Implications will be discussed.
