Victims by Age Group and Maltreatment Type, 2005

This table first lists the following age groups birth-3, 4-7, 8-11, 12-15, age 16 and older, and unknown or missing. The next column displays the total number of victims for each age group. Then the number and percentage of victims are displayed by type of maltreatment. The total percentage is more than 100.0 because children may have been the victim of more than one type of maltreatment.
