Socioeconomic differences in children's victimization to maternal and paternal violence: a register-based study.

Aims

To explore the potential of administrative data in assessment of the association between parental socioeconomic position (SEP) and children's violent victimization by biological parents.

Methods

A longitudinal register-linkage study based on child-mother and child-father data, including all children born in Finland between 1991 and 2017.

Results
