The Nature and Substantiation of Official Sexual Abuse Reports.
Eckenrode, John; And Others
Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v12 n3 p311-19 1988
A sample of 796 New York sexual abuse reports was studied to explore factors associated with substantiation of the reports following an investigation. Substantiation rates increased with the child's age, and reports were more likely to be substantiated when they involved female children or came from a mandated source. (Author/JDD)
