Abstract: Though prior research has found a connection between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and offending, only a few studies have investigated potential mediators that may help explain these effects. The current study builds upon childhood abuse research that has found social bonds to be a mediator between childhood maltreatment and offending and examines the extent to which social bonds represent an intervening variable between ACEs and recidivism.
