This government publication provides a great deal of background information on child abuse in the United States currently. It provides basic information on types of maltreatment/abuse and the characteristics of victims as well are more complex information that has been quantified like regarding trends of reported victimization from 1990-2000. This information that this government document has provided will be important in setting up the current state of affairs of child abuse in the United States and will help establish a foundation for the research questions to be answered.

The sample is about 4000 student, from grades 7 through 12, in a rural Midwestern community where about 20% of the students reported some type of physical and/or sexual stated. The researchers assess the impact of the abuse on this 20% by using different tools. They find that higher emotional and behavioral risk scores were found on the students that had experienced abuse. The article overall would help me explore my research questions because it concentrates on different behavior impacts of students in a statistical way which could help me draw conclusions about the significance of the impact.

This journal article explores children with physical abuse over a 12-year span, annually. The study attempts to evaluate the children in terms of school grades, suspensions, absences, aggression, drug use, pregnancy, among other factors. This would be important to understand how and why child abuse contributed to these different outcomes, if they did at all.
