Summary: • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; 2013) define adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as traumatic events endured prior to age 18.
• Children who endure even one ACE are more likely to engagein deviant behaviors later in life (Edalati et al., 2017; Levenson & Socia, 2015; Willis & Levenson, 2016).
