向CPS机构报告的虐待儿童案件来自各种社区来源。哪些类型的病例被低估、高估或根本没有报告，为什么？我们解决这些问题，通过检查CPS机构已知的案件和那些已知的专业人士谁经常接触儿童：教师，医院工作人员，执法人员，法院工作人员和社会服务工作者之间的差异。该分析是基于1980年和1986年全国虐待儿童和儿童虐待发生率和流行率研究。我们的研究产生了三个主要发现。首先，年龄较大的受害者不太可能比年轻的受害者被CPS机构所知。其次，向CPS机构报告的虐待类型有一个等级，性虐待排在首位，教育忽视排在末位。第三，受害者的种族、性别和收入对是否向CPS机构报告案件没有影响。
Reports to CPS agencies of child maltreatment cases come from a variety of community sources. Which kinds of cases are underreported, overreported, or not reported at all, and why? We address these questions by examining the discrepancies between cases known to CPS agencies and those known to professionals who regularly come into contact with children: teachers, hospital personnel, law enforcement officers, court personnel, and social service workers. The analysis is based on the 1980 and 1986 National Study of the Incidence and Prevalence of Child Abuse and Neglect. Our research yielded three major findings. First, older victims were less likely than younger victims to be known to CPS agencies. Second, there is a hierarchy of type of abuse reported to CPS agencies, with sexual abuse being at the top of the list and educational neglect at the bottom of the list. Third, the victims' race, sex, and income did not play a role in whether or not a case was reported to CPS agencies.
