Abstract
By identifying and quantifying the extent of these costs
and exploring the ways in which they ripple through our
community, this report aims to:
• Spark widespread discussion around the devastating
long-term impact of child abuse on the San Francisco
community
• Shed light on the extent of risk factors for maltreatment
in San Francisco and highlight the need to target high-
risk groups and develop community and family
protective factors
• Articulate the significant and negative impact of
child abuse on the community and provide a foundation
for future research that will enhance our collective
understanding of the extent and nature of child
maltreatment costs
