Abstract
Secondary prevention of child maltreatment involves identifying potential abusers and treating them before the abuse takes place. This article reviews research on attempts to screen parents to identify those who are at risk of maltreating their children. The author concludes that although accurate identification of such parents may eventually be possible, more research is needed to establish identifying criteria and to determine effective means of intervention to prevent abuse.
