This report provides the child abuse and domestic abuse incident data from the DoD FAP Central Registry for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016, as required by section 574 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2017. In addition to meeting the congressional requirement, this report also provides critical aggregate information on the demographics of these incidents that will further inform ongoing prevention and response service efforts. Using aggregated FAP Central Registry data submitted from each Military Service (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force), this report offers a Department-wide picture of the child abuse and neglect (hereafter referred to together as child maltreatment) and domestic abuse incidents that were reported to FAP in FY 2016.en-USchild abusemilitarystatisticsArticle
