This report examines causes and effects of child neglect and provides information that can be used to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies. The report discusses the different definitions of neglect; the incidence and prevalence of neglect; assessment, intervention, and prevention strategies that can be used by Child Protective Services and other agencies to treat and prevent neglect; and the implications for public policy that neglect, and the prevention of neglect, have on the development, provision, funding, and implementation of social programs and services.
