Using a prospective cohorts design, cases of physical and sexual abuse and neglect for children under age 12 during the years 1967 through 1971 were sampled from a metropolitan area in the midwest. Adult and juvenile criminal histories of sampled cases were compared to those of a matched control group with no official record of abuse or neglect. Data were collected from 1986 through 1988 and are organized into five files. The first file contains demographic information and includes demographic information on 1,575 cases. These include 908 cases of child abuse or neglect and 667 cases in the control group. The other cases include information on the abuse or neglect incident, the family living situation, the perpetrator, the adult criminal histories of the victims and the control group, and the juvenile histories of both groups.
