Victim, perpetrator, family, and incident characteristics of infant and child homicide in the United States Air Force. Child Abuse & Neglect, 26(2), 167-186. doi:10.1016/S0145-2134(01)00315-5
- Understanding the characteristics of both the perpetrators and victims of infant and child fatal abuse may help develop strategies to prevent future occurrences. Records of infant (24 hours to less than one year old), young child (ages one to four years), and child (ages five to 15 years) victims in the U.S. Air Force were reviewed for common characteristics and differences between the three groups. Several common factors related to perpetrators and victims were determined and key differences between victim groups were identified.
