A Cluster Analysis of Detected and Substantiated Child Maltreatment Incidents in Rural Colorado.
Fryer, George E., Jr.; Miyoshi, Thomas J.
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v19 n3 p363-69 Mar 1995
This study examined temporal-geographic patterns among 830 confirmed incidents of child abuse in 31 rural Colorado counties during 1986-90. Findings suggest that a first incident of abuse or neglect serves as a sentinel event, predicting a period of more frequent receipt and substantiation of maltreatment cases by child protection professionals in the area.
