Note. Percentages do not add to 100 percent due to rounding. Based on data from 19 States: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. Percentages are based on a duplicated count of 324,486 victims. Duplication exists because some perpetrators victimized more than one child, and each relationship is counted.
