This bibliography of international literature on studies of child maltreatment is in three parts. The first two parts contain citations with abstracts of incidence studies (which count the number of new cases within any one year) and prevalence studies (which calculate the proportion of a population that has been abused at any time in childhood). Each of these parts contains a table summarizing the studies with respect to such matters as country of study, type of abuse, information source, sampling & data collection method, and results. The final part contains annotated citations of studies based on information from child abuse registries. Within each section, citations are arranged by geographic area covered.
