The Second National Incidence Studies of Missing,
Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children (NISMART–2)
estimated that 1,315,600 children were missing from their caretakers
in 1999—the latest year for which NISMART survey data are
available. That estimate includes children who were reported
missing and those who were not reported missing.
NISMART findings are reported in a special series of Bulletins
available through the OJJDP Web site's publications
page (search
on "NISMART Series"). General statistical information
on juveniles as victims is available through OJJDP's Statistical
Briefing Book. |
