Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups—child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders. Research, treatment approaches and techniques, prevention, intervention, and other programs concerning any of these groups are general categories of the published articles and brief reports. The articles emphasize applying research, treatment, and interventions to practical situations so the importance of the results will be clear.

 

The Journal of Aggression, Maltreatment, and Trauma, the Journal of Child and Adolescent Trauma, and the Journal of Child Sexual Abuse are all edited by Dr. Robert Geffner. If you are interested in submitting an article but are uncertain about which journal your article may be best suited for, please contact the editor at journals@alliant.edu.  

Peer Review Policy: All articles have undergone anonymous double-blind peer review.
