Kindermishandeling in Nederland Anno 2010 (Child maltreatment in the Netherlands in 2010: The second Netherlands’ Prevalence study on Maltreatment of children and youth (NPM-2010)
article
The current study assesses the year prevalence of child maltreatment in the Netherlands. We estimated the prevalence of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and physical and emotional neglect using different methods: informant-, CPS-, and self-reports. We also tested which family and demographic factors increased the risk for child maltreatment. Results showed that the prevalence, based on both informant-reports and self-reports has not decreased from 2005 to 2010 and that risk factors remained similar. The number of reports to CPS did increase from 2005 to 2010. It is likely that this is the result of increased awareness of the problem. Based on our results, recommendations for policy makers are formulated.
