Data represents reports appropriate for investigation during the fiscal year by the Child Protective Services Central Registry for children ages 0-17. If more than one report is taken regarding the same incident for the same child/family, it is only counted once in the data shown here. If a report involves several children in the same household, it only counts as one report.
The data for each time frame is reported from October 1 of the previous year to September 30 of the reported year. For example, data for the year 2000, is based on data collected from October 1,1999 to September 30, 2000.
As a result of SB1518, data is now reported on state fiscal year, thus starting 9/30/18, semi-annual data covers January to June and July to December. Beginning in 2018, the two reports are summed to calculate the reported estimates.
