Child maltreatment occurs in every State. Because States have their own requirements for reporting and responding to child abuse and neglect, efforts are made to collate State-specific information into national databases and reports in order to observe broader trends in child maltreatment.

These resources present the most recent national and State statistics and data on the reporting and occurrence of child abuse and neglect. Because time is needed to compile, analyze, and publish data, statistical publications often are released 2 or more years after the time period being analyzed. Information Gateway makes every effort to ensure the resources provided are the most current statistics available.

These reports, sources, and archives include information about the demographic composition of children who experienced maltreatment, as well as information about the prevalence of different types of abuse, the characteristics of perpetrators, and child welfare services responses.
