NCSU Study Questions Link Between Abuse, Violent Crime By Natalie Eason Hampton Special To The (Sot A person who is abased as a child is not necessarily more likely to become involved in violent crime, later in life, says a North Carolina State University sociologist who re cently studied the state’s prison population. But a related study by Dr. Mat thew T. Zingraff of NCSU and a colleague showed a correlation be tween childhood abuse and mental illness. Despite a public perception that abused children grow up to be ag gressive and abusive, “you can’t look at the literature on abuse and argue that if you have been abused, you will be an abuser,” said Zingraff, an associate profeeaor of sociology with an interest in prison Zingraff. along with Dr. J.
