Financial Cost of Child Abuse

I received an email from a reader asking me to please post information about the financial cost of child abuse in the US. I’m happy to be able to post some relatively recent publications on the topic, the most specific being Prevent Child Abuse America’s 2007 report, Total Estimated Cost of Child Abuse and Neglect in the United States: An Economic Impact Study (PDF).

Aside from the PCAA report, though, there have been some interesting research articles that look at a variety of aspects of this issue (including some Canada-specific ones). I’ve linked to their abstracts below:
