Fatal Maltreatment by Mothers: A Proposed Framework.
Korbin, Jill E.
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v13 n4 p481-89 1989
The research on nine women incarcerated for the death of a child found a recurrent pattern of child abuse prior to the fatality. The women provided warning signals by alerting others to the abuse incidents at the same time as they attempted to rationalize and minimize the abuse. (Author/DB)
