Abstract
ABSTRACT To examine the role of subjective and objective poverty in relation to child maltreatment through parenting aggravation, the current study selected the biological mothers in wave 5 of the Future of Families & Child Wellbeing Study. The results showed that material hardship was consistently associated with all the child maltreatment outcomes through parenting aggravation, while only certain poverty threshold categories were related to physical abuse, neglect, and ever CPS involvement. Caregivers whose income is above 200% but experiencing more material hardship and those whose income is below 200% and experiencing more material hardship, showed a higher likelihood of child maltreatment.
