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. Belyea, a health sciences re
marcbes M:the Va *
Hit!
lected from ~18.TM Inmates atrtbe
SSi isnjtfuaL*:. ■
roey rouan that abused offend
ers were lees likely than their non
. (■ abused counterparts to be inogrce
rated for violent offenses such as
“ murder, rape, assaults and robbery,
Zingraff said. -d *
™nxex*mple, less than three per-?
cent of the abused group were In
prison on murder convtettout, while
almost five percent of the non
abused prisoners were nerving time
for murder. .
* About nine percent of the inmates
in the study reported they were
neglected or abused as children,
compared with estimates that about
three percent of the general popu
lation has experienced some
abuse, be said.
. Zingraff said be was surprised by
the results of the study, which con
flict with the common notion that
violence breeds violence. The find
ings will be published later this year
In a Waveland Press book, “Cor
- most researcn on cnud a Ouse has
focused op injuries from abuse
i broken bones, bruises and scars
and on short-term emotional ef
fects, he said. But little research has
been done on the effects of abuse on
behavior beyond adolescence, Zin
graft said.
The meet effective means of stu
dying long-term effects ef abuse, he
said, would be to follow a group of
abused individuals over a period of
\ 15 to 20 years end compare their
behavior with a group of non
abused people. Such a study has not
been done because it would be very
expensive, requiring Hhv—imI. af
.' cases to compensate far the num
ber of Individuals who would drop
out during the study, he said.
Zingraff cautioned that the find
ings on abuse and crime should be
viewed within the study’s limita
tions. He pointed out that the study
<fid not examine people convicted of
violent offenses who did not go to
prison or the effects of plea bar
gaining in reducing a charge be
fore conviction.
Zingraff does not believe there are
problems with using self reports of
child abuse in his study. Prison
ers, he said, would be more likely to
underrwnnrt etrild at»i—. than *n rm.
port incidents that never oc
curred.
"In prison, everything you say can
and win be used against you by your
peers," he said. Because it is im
portant for a prisoner to maintain a
tough image among peers, Zingraff
believes reports of abum would bo
viewed as weakness to be exploit
ed by other prisoners.
There is a need for intervention
with abused children, whether or not
they are likely to become involved in
crime later in life, Zingraff said.
Many abused children are facing
other problema that may put them at
risk to become involved In crime.
