“…Neglect can be prevented or reduced in atrisk families (i.e. : drug-abusing parents) by specific interventions, such as multidisciplinary family treatment drug court [50], parent-child interaction therapy [51,52], family behaviour therapy [53] and personal and family support [54]. Only few specifically designed interventions for neglected children are described in the literature [55] and multisystemic therapy may be a tool for the treatment of both victims and their families [56].…”

Child maltreatment has frequently been associated with impaired social skills and antisocial features, but there are still controversies about the effect of each type of maltreatment on social behaviour. The aim of this study was to compare the social functioning and psychopathic traits of maltreated adolescents (MTA) with a control group (CG) and to investigate what types of maltreatments and social skills were associated with psychopathic traits in both groups. The types and intensity of maltreatment were evaluated through the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) in 107 adolescents, divided into the MTA group (n = 66) and non-maltreated youths (n = 41), our CG. The Hare Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL: YV) and a detailed inventory for evaluation of social skills in adolescents were also applied in all individuals. MTA presented more psychopathic traits than the CG, in all domains measured by PCL: YV, independently of IQ levels and the presence of psychiatric disorders. Interestingly, the groups did not differ significantly from each other on indicators of social skills. Multiple regression analysis revealed that emotional neglect was the only maltreatment subtype significantly associated with psychopathic traits, more specifically with the PCL: YV interpersonal factor (F1), and that some social skills (empathy, self-control and social confidence) were related to specific psychopathic factors. The results highlight that emotional neglect may be more detrimental to social behaviours than physical and sexual abuse, and that neglected children require more specific and careful attention.

“…Of the two, there is more evidence that FDTCs increase reunification rates; nine studies found an increase in reunification for participants (Ashford, 2004;Boles, Young, Moore, & DiPirro-Beard, 2007;Burrus, Mackin, & Finigan, 2011;Chuang, Moore, Barrett, & Young, 2012;Dakof et al, 2010;Gifford, Eldred, Vernerey, & Sloan, 2014;Green, Furrer, Worcel, Burrus, & Finigan, 2009;Green, Rockhill, & Furrer, 2007b;Worcel, Furrer, Green, Burrus, & Finigan, 2008).

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oLaw is a powerful tool for combatting public health issues. This article reviews existing empirical research on the effect of eight legal levers on outcomes related to child maltreatment. Laws created with the intent to address child maltreatment are often enacted without empirical basis. Further, following implementation, there is little empirical research on whether such statutes reduce or deter child maltreatment and improve child outcomes. This is in part due to the difficulty in studying the effects of a specific statute on measurable child outcomes.
