Abstract

Description

Considerable efforts have been made during the last generation to encourĀ­ age children and their families to report victimization to authorities. Nonetheless, concern persists that most childhood victimization remains hidden. The 2008 inventory of childhood victimization the National Study of Children s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV) (see History of the National Survey of Children s Exposure to Violence, p. 4) allowed an assessĀ­ ment of whether authorities, including police, school, and medical authorities, are identifying victimizations.
