dc.description.notesThis article presents a US longitudinal study of the relationships between maternal victimisation, maternal functioning, and children’s behaviour and development. Participants include 203 mothers-children from a low-income population. Child outcomes are based on maternal, teacher and child self-report and measures of cognitive and academic functionings. The findings suggest that mothers with a history of victimisation were more likely to report more depressive symptoms and lower levels of social support. Maternal depressive symptoms and social social support are associated with parental capacity. The findings indicate that victimisation undermines women’s parenting capacity which leads to negative child outcomes. Children of mothers with a victimisation history had higher levels of internalising and externalising behaviour problems. Behaviour problems identified at age 4 persist to age 8. Children of victimised mothers do not self-report a higher level of distress than children of non-victimised mothers, which may be evidence of resilience within a very high-risk group of children. Early intervention for families may decrease the likelihood of negative child behaviours. Screening for maternal victimisation history and providing support services may decrease the risk of negative child behaviours. Early screening could be conducted in the pediatric context.en
