| | Child Abuse: Statistics, Research, and Resources |
 | | Though related to my research on child abuse, it's only focused on use of alcohol and marijuana: no questions about abuse are asked, and anyone can participate, so long as they've used alcohol and/or marijuana in the past month and are willing to share some of their experiences. |
 | | Their most striking discovery was that child abuse (which they defined as kicking, biting, punching, beating, threatening with a gun or knife, or using a gun or knife) had declined by 47 percent among two-parent families with at least one child aged three to seventeen. |
 | | In addition to examining the incidence rates of child maltreatment, the study explored the characteristics of the children, youth and families who were the subject of child welfare investigations for alleged child abuse and neglect. |
