KTAR News reported on Morrison Institute for Public Policy and the Arizona Department of Child Safety teaming up on a three-year project for research and analysis on neglect assessment and prevention policies for Arizona children.

Child neglect is less visible than child abuse. But it’s a similarly dangerous type of child maltreatment in that the resulting negative outcomes too often last a lifetime.

About 70 percent of all reports made to the Department of Child Safety hotline concern neglect. Nearly 80 percent of the cases in which Arizona children are removed from their home cite neglect as one of the reasons.
