本文使用人口普查和儿童福利报告数据从密苏里州（1999年，2000年和2001年），以确定是否白人和黑人报告虐待儿童在类似或不同的比率，同时控制贫困和种族同质性。我们没有发现证据表明，一旦贫困得到控制，种族歧视的程度就会很高。贫穷通常与两个种族的报告率较高有关。我们发现了一些差异敏感性的证据，与贫困和报告率之间的关系是白人比黑人更强。(C)2008年由Elsevier Ltd.出版
This paper uses Census and child welfare report data from Missouri (1999, 2000 & 2001) to determine if Whites and Blacks are reported for child maltreatment at similar or different rates while controlling for poverty and racial homogeneity. We do not find evidence for high levels of racial disproportionality once poverty is controlled. Poverty is generally associated with higher rates of reporting for both races. We found some evidence of differential sensitivity, with the relationship between poverty and report rate being somewhat stronger for Whites than for Blacks. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
