Data are from county Child Protective Service (CPS) agencies and other community professionals such as teachers, law officers, and health professionals. These health and social surveys include data on the date, type, severity, and consequences of the maltreatment, demographic information about the child and his or her family, and the source and date of the report made about the maltreatment.
This data comprises government records extracted from the Archival Research Catalog (ARC). See the ARC catalog entry for this series for more information on this data and how to order it.
