The article suggests that preventing child maltreatment can reduce adult criminal involvement's prevalence. It concludes with a call for increased awareness and action to address child maltreatment and its long-term impact on society. The results of this study provide scientific research evidence for the positive development of children. In future studies, the results of this study can be used to correct and defend the maltreatment suffered by children scientifically. In the future, we urge researchers to pay more attention to the problem of child abuse. Overall, this article, whether in practice or research, has great significance.
