在调查和处置儿童虐待的种族和民族代表性的不成比例进行了研究，使用全国虐待儿童和虐待儿童数据系统（NCANDS）的数据超过70万名儿童在五个州。为儿童虐待和忽视调查的对象以及儿童保护服务机构发现的虐待受害者的儿童构建了国家行为代表性指数（DRI）和差异指数（DI）。在所有五个州和两个指数中，非洲裔美国儿童的比例过高，而白色儿童在每个州的调查阶段一直比例偏低。在确定受害情况时，非裔美国人和白人使用DRI的结果因县而异，但表现出很小的一致性。
Disproportionality of racial and ethic representation in investigation and disposition of child maltreatment was examined using National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) data for more than 700,000 children in five states. State disproportionality representation indices (DRI) and disparity indices (DI) were constructed for children who were the subject of an investigation of child abuse and neglect and for children who were found to be victims of maltreatment by child protective services agencies. In all five states and for both indices, African American children were overrepresented and White children consistently underrepresented at the stage of investigation for each of states. At the determination of victimization, results for African Americans and Whites using the DRI varied greatly from county to county, but demonstrated little disproportionality.
