These four fact sheets use data from the State Child Abuse and Neglect (SCAN) Policies Database that describe key aspects of states’ definitions of child maltreatment and policies for defining, reporting, screening, and investigating child abuse and neglect. The fact sheets should be of interest to individuals who work in child welfare agencies and practitioners, researchers, service providers, program administrators, program evaluators, and funders.
