dc.description.abstractFor 2020, professionals submitted 66.7 percent of reports alleging child abuse and neglect. The term professional means that the person has contact with the alleged child maltreatment victim as part of his or her job. This term includes teachers, police officers, lawyers, and social services staff. The highest percentages of reports are from legal and law enforcement personnel (20.9%), education personnel (17.2%), and medical personnel (11.6%). Nonprofessionals, including friends, neighbors, and relatives, submitted fewer than one-fifth of reports (17.0%). Unclassified sources submitted the remaining reports (16.3%). Unclassified includes anonymous, “other,” and unknown report sources. States use the code “other” for any report source that does not have an NCANDS designated code. See Appendix D, State Commentary, for additional information provided by the states as to what is included in “other.” (See chapter 2.)en_US
