Suggestion on protective factors to be added

I suggest more protective factors be added for adoption, repeat offenders, children of incarcerated parents, and low income families. Khowell4 (talk) 19:01, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While this appears to be a low-traffic article I'm not sure I'd want to see long lists of factors specific to various fields. The intent of this article is about the term "Protective factor" itself. I suspect this article could be merged into Risk factor though don't know if the two terms were created together. The Risk factor article mentions the source of that phrase but is silent on if that person also coined "protective factor". --Marc Kupper|talk 18:01, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
