There is some information on this in my cost analysis.  The total estimated
cost of child abuse and neglect in the United States.

Subject: The "cost" of unprevented abuse


Our Children's Trust fund is looking for research or evidence of the cost of
adults who have been abuse victims as children becoming abusive adults. This
can be a very compelling argument with legislators when funding is critical.

If you can suggest references or sites with this information, please reply
to
Jerry Docherty below or to me.
Many thanks,

Have you ever seen any research that talks about the
incidence of victims of abuse / neglect that then as adults become abusers.
For the cost both human and $$$ we would love to talk about any known rates
of victims becoming victimizers????
