Research has uncovered a number of risk factors or attributes commonly associated with maltreatment. Children in families and environments where these factors exist have a higher probability of experiencing maltreatment. A greater understanding of risk factors can help professionals working with children and families identify maltreatment and high-risk situations so they can intervene appropriately. It must be emphasized, however, that while certain factors often are present among families where maltreatment occurs, this does not mean that the presence of these factors necessarily lead to child abuse and neglect. Common factors associated with increased risk of child maltreatment are often categorized as follows:

Child abuse is on the rise in Malaysia with an increase of some 700 reported cases between 2006 and 2008.
Despite significant strides made by the Government in improving child protection measures in recent years, statistics from the Department of Social Welfare show a rise in reported child abuse cases in Malaysia: 2008:
2,780 child abuse reports
2007:
2,279 child abuse reports
2006:
1,999 child abuse reports.
Based
on 2008 reported figures, neglect is the most common
form of child abuse in Malaysia. The breakdown of the three key forms of abuse are as follows: 952
child victims experienced neglect, meaning a caretaker
failed to provide for the child’s basic needs. 863
child victims were physically abused.
733
child victims were sexually abused, 72% were incest.
58
child victims were abandoned babies.
Failure to provide care and supervision has become the most frequent cause of death among children.
Child abuse reports in Malaysia spiked to a record high last year, according to statistics, as police blame the crime on misunderstandings and financial difficulties. The number of physical child abuse cases jumped about 26 percent from 203 in 2009 to 257 in 2010, the highest recorded over the last five years, Malaysian federal police revealed to local daily.
Thank you.
