Child maltreatment definition includes perpetrators who are any person (including familial, non-familial, children, person under age 18, and person over age 18). Please note this variable was renamed in 2023 to be more inclusive of any person and not just adults. It was previously named DefPerp_AnyAdult in the 2021 and 2019 data.
