Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
The purposes of this chapter are to:
(1) Protect a maltreated adult or long-term care facility resident who is in imminent danger; and
(2) Encourage the cooperation of state agencies and private providers in the service delivery system for maltreated adults.
