TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Predictive risk modelling to prevent child maltreatment: insights and implications from Aotearoa/New Zealand JO - Journal of public child welfare A1 - Gillingham, Philip SP - 150 EP - 165 VL - 11 IS - 2 N2 - Predictive risk modeling to identify children at risk of maltreatment has attracted considerable interest internationally. Using the example of the development of the predictive risk model in Aotearoa/New Zealand, the potential of such approaches to provide new insights into the causes of child maltreatment is explored with reference to what were identified as the main predictors of child maltreatment. The implications of these main predictors are considered both for the reform of child protection services and the future use and development of predictive risk modeling.
