Issues in Brief

The Child Maltreatment Policy Resource Center disseminates information and products in many formats.  Issues in Brief reports provide an easily accessible snapshot of critical issues in topic areas being researched and addressed by the Center. 

Issues in Brief provides an orientation to a topic or issue, an outline of the main concerns, a brief review of the supporting literature, and initial recommendations, all toward goals of raising awareness and quickly orienting readers to the substance of critical child maltreatment concerns.  In most cases, policy white papers and articles are available on the Center website to support a deeper and more comprehensive dive into the topic area and its related concerns.
