Data Highlights

Summary

This graph examines investigations of reported child abuse and/or neglect. It shows the count of households that had at least one child reported, screened-in, and investigated.

Questions this graph can answer

• How many investigations occurred each year or quarter?

• Which counties had the most investigations in a given year?

• Which race/ethnicities had the most investigations in a given year?

See also

• Investigations & Assessments (Rate), for a population-based rate of these data.

• Households with Children Re-Reported, for how often households with investigated children are later reported again.

Notes

All households with a screened-in report of concerns for child safety receive a CPS investigation or are assessed for other services, so the number of investigations and assessments will be equivalent to the number of screened-in reports.
