About the Project
The dataset is about the amount of girls and boys that are maltreated in different counties in Indiana from the years 2013-2017, as well as the rates.
Why this Project?
Because of the complex nature of child maltreatment, there aren't many analyses for child maltreatment, so more insights can be helpful. It is something that should be more talked about, and talking about it can lead to more prevention. It is something we care about, especially because it is in the state we live in.
Audience
Our project can be used mainly by researchers. It is also intended for the general public to be more aware and have more information. Additionally, maltreatment prevention organizations can find this information helpful.
