这篇文章考察了对受虐待人口的种族构成的相互矛盾的看法。全国儿童虐待和忽视数据系统(NCANDS)的数据显示，在报告和证实的虐待和忽视案件中，黑人比例过高，而全国儿童虐待和忽视发生率研究(NIS)显示，黑人儿童没有明显的比例过高。为了理解相互矛盾的证据，作者从NIS得出了NCANDS中虐待比率的近似衡量标准。虐待比率分为指控、报告和证实三个部分。在没有按福利状况对数据进行分类的情况下，官方虐待的所有或大部分种族差距都被发现是由于指控中的种族差异造成的。分解会更改结果。在福利案件中，黑人和白人之间的虐待差距平均有一半是由于种族差异造成的。在非福利案件中，官方虐待案件中约有一半的种族差距是由于指控中的种族差异。
This article examines conflicting visions of the racial composition of the maltreated populations. The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) data shows Blacks are overrepresented among reported and substantiated abuse and neglect cases, while the National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS) shows no apparent overrepresentation of children of color. To understand the conflicting evidence, the authors produce from NIS approximate measures of maltreatment rates in NCANDS. Maltreatment rates is broken down into allegation, report and substantiation components. Without disaggregating the data by welfare status, all or most of the racial gap in official maltreatment is found to arise from racial differences in allegations. Disaggregation changes the results. Among welfare cases, on average, half of the Black-White gap in maltreatment is due to racial differences in substantiation. Among nonwelfare cases, about half of the racial gap in official maltreatment is due to racial differences in allegations.
