No, this report does not and I don't know if Dan has broken it down into the categories you list. I do know that Dick Sobsey who is the foremost expert of disability and abuse believes that abuse is worse in institutions and that getting people out of them into a self determined environment like one's own home would greatly reduce the abuse that goes on.
