Meeting the Challenge of Child Maltreatment in Rural Areas.
Abstract
Data shows child maltreatment
reports are higher in rural than urban
areas. This suggests rural practitioners
may be more likely to encounter children
who are victims of maltreatment.
This is true regardless of whether
the maltreatment caused the child’s
contact with the legal system or was
revealed after the child’s contact with
the courts for another reason. What
does this mean if you practice in a rural
area? This article highlights child
maltreatment trends in rural areas and
offers tips for addressing common
challenges when representing these
children.
