Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAP) is used to assess the risk of child abuse by a parent or caregiver. This information can be used by social services to prioritize families for intervention and support services. It may also be used to inform the development of risk-reduction plans for families. While the data from CAP may be considered as evidence in a court of law, its primary purpose is for assessment and intervention rather than legal prosecution. Similarly, it is not typically used by police officers as part of their response to domestic disputes, and it does not compel parents to take a risk-reduction class.
