Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Developmental psychopathology emphasizes the impact that early childhood maltreatment has on adolescent and early adult development. The life-course perspective, however, emphasizes more proximal events -adolescent maltreatment, for example- as developmentally disruptive. Prior research suggests that childhood maltreatment is a risk factor for adolescent delinquency and drug use. However, the results appear to depend on a loose definition of childhood. This study utilizes a four-category maltreatment classification -never, childhood-only, adolescence-only, and persistent- to re-examine the maltreatment-delinquency relationship. Using data from the Rochester Youth Development Study, we find no relationship between childhood-only maltreatment and adolescent delinquency or drug use; yet, we do find a consistent impact of adolescence-only and persistent maltreatment on these outcomes.
