N2  - Parental compliance to court-ordered assessment was examined in 82 mothers whose children had been removed from the home due to child maltreatment. Compliant (n = 52) and Noncompliant (n = 30) mothers were compared on parental and psychosocial risk factors previously documented in child maltreatment research. The results indicate that noncompliant mothers tend to be younger, lead more transient lifestyles, show a greater degree of antisocial behavior, and experience more violence in their spousal relationships. The implications of these data for clinical and legal involvement with these families is discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
