Abstract | For young people to learn, grow, and thrive, they must first be safe. In fiscal year 2020, approximately 618,000 children in the United States experienced abuse and neglect, and 1,750 died as a result. The effects of child abuse, which can include failure in school, depression, substance use, or involvement in the justice system, can be mitigated if children receive timely, trauma-informed services. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) supports the work and expansion of children's advocacy centers nationwide. In 2021 alone, the 939 centers served more than 386,000 children--treating victims and investigating and prosecuting cases of child abuse--and trained nearly 2.9 million people on how to prevent child abuse.
