Abstract
This paper examines screening and substantiation practices in CPS intake and investigation. The authors note a large degree of variation in screening practices. In the context of false allegations, they note that most reports of maltreatment are specific, and those that are not specific or do not allege maltreatment are generally not investigated.Keywords
