Three research questions were raised in the study. The population of the senior secondary school students in Awka Educational Zone as at the end of the second term of 2012/2013 session are 93,768. Multi stage sampling technique was employed in selecting 702 senior secondary II (SSII) students from Awka Education Zone. A questionnaire tagged "Adolescent Maltreatment Determinant Questionnaire" was used in collecting information from the students in the areas of neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse and verbal abuse. The students' continuous assessment scores in two terms were collected as the students' academic achievement. Pearson Product Moment Coefficient and Multiple Regression Coefficient were used in analysing the data. The result shows that childhood maltreatment significantly predicted the students' achievement. Parents were advised to adequately provide for their adolescent needs among other recommendations.

A lot of criminals tamper with ATM terminals and steal customers’ card details by illegal means. Security of data from unauthorized access, unauthorized modification and destruction of data most especially in ATM systems has been a challenge. The researchers in this work responded to this challenge by developing and simulating a robust fingerprint authentication model for ATM security. The techniques of the Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM), Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and the prototyping methodology were adopted for the systematic study and design of the model. Thereafter, we deployed Microsoft Visual C# and MySQL tools to implement the designed system. The system was interfaced with DigitalPersona, a fingerprint reader. The result is a robust fingerprint authentication model for ATM security.
