Child Maltreatment Trends

The federal government says fewer and fewer children across the country are victims of abuse. This news comes as legislators debate the best way to protect the state's children. We'll talk to an expert in the field who says the declining numbers have less to do with laws, and more to do with economics, education and advances in mental healthcare. Our guest is David Finkelhor, Director of the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center. He's also Professor of Sociology at UNH.
