Abstract
The intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment refers to the continuity of child abuse and neglect in various forms across generations. This chapter reviews existing research and theory related to the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment and focuses on the unique role intimate partner violence, poverty, aging out of foster care, and other trauma that co-occur with child maltreatment can play in contributing to this cycle of violence and neglect. Building on this discussion, this chapter identifies emerging topics and research that can inform the development of promising intervention and prevention strategies. The chapter concludes with an outline of recommendations and strategies for practice, policy, and research.
