CALL FOR PAPERS

Guest Editor
Dan Smith, Ph.D.
University of Arkansas

A number of studies over the past two decades have reported an association
between reports of childhood maltreatment and reports of a variety of
victimization experiences later in life, often extending into adulthood.
Although this phenomenon has been widely discussed, it is not well
understood. Child Maltreatment÷The Journal of the American Professional
Society on the Abuse of Children,  is soliciting manuscripts on topics
related to repeat victimization, including but not limited to:
á Original empirical research papers, particularly those that test current
models and assumptions, or address methodological problems in previous
research
á Theoretical or conceptual analyses, including papers that critically
analyze current models or propose new models
á Treatment or intervention outcome research
á Social, legal, or policy analysis
á Research on the effects of repeated victimization
á Clinical protocols or practice models focused directly on repeated
victimization
á Prevention of repeat victimization
á Analysis and critiques of repeat victimization research and methodologies
and suggestions for future research

DEADLINE: Manuscripts should be submitted by August 31, 1998. Please
indicate that the manuscript is being submitted for the Repeat Victimization
Focus Section. Manuscripts should have an abstract of up to 150 words and
follow stylistic elements of the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (4th Edition). Submissions should be limited to 30
typewritten double spaced pages, including references.  Authors are reminded
that manuscripts should be formatted to facilitate blind peer review.
Please send 5 copies of the manuscript to:
