Abstract
Child Maltreatment 2018 is the 29th edition of the annual Child Maltreatment report
series. States provide the data for this report through the National Child Abuse and
Neglect Data System (NCANDS). NCANDS was established in 1988 as a voluntary,
national data collection and analysis program to make available state child abuse
and neglect information. Data have been collected every year since 1991 and are
collected from child welfare agencies in the 50 states, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, and the District of Columbia.
