TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the extent to which poverty increases the amount of child abuse and neglect (CAN), and how does this occur, how large are these effects and to whom do they apply?

TL;DR: This article found that children's chances of receiving a child protection intervention were related to family socio-economic circumstances, measured by neighbourhood deprivation, within all four UK countries (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) provided a potential "natural experiment" for comparing intervention patterns.

TL;DR: It is not possible to draw firm conclusions about which interventions are effective for children with different maltreatment profiles, and which factors encourage people to seek therapy, accept the offer of therapy and actively engage with therapy.

TL;DR: In the fifth year of the Belfast Youth Development Study (BYDS), the prevalence and implications of exposure to violence was examined for a sample of 3,828 young people (aged 15-16 years) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: From the available evidence, there was a relatively clear relationship between 'child maltreatment' and poorer economic outcomes such as reduced income, unemployment, lower level of job skill and fewer assets, over and above the influence of family of origin socio-economic status.
