Due to expunging polices, Indiana does not submit "Unsubstantiated" reports. The 1,019 children reported as having an "Unsubstantiated" disposition were children included in "Substantiated" reports where another child received a "Substantiated" disposition.
This table lists the number of children that were a part of different types of investigations according to NCANDS classifications. It first lists the name of each State and is followed by the number of children that were part of a Substantiated, Indicated, Alternative Response-Victim, Alternative Response-Nonvictim, Unsubstantiated, Intentionally False, Closed Without a Finding, Other, and Unknown Investigations. The chart has a final column that lists the total number of dispositions. For all of the States combined, the total number of dispositions was 2,938,681.
