The family Violence Prevention Fund had a conference in January of 2001
called Race Matters on the Over-representation of children of color in
the child welfare system. VERY interesting papers.
<p>If you are looking for descriptive information and not numbers, check
out a book I edited:
<p>Fontes, L. S<u>exual abuse in nine North American cultures: Treatment
and prevention.</u> Newbury Park: Sage. In this book authors from 9 U.S.
subcultures (African American, Puerto Rican, Asian American Pacific Islander
& Filipino, Anglo American, Jewish, Seventh Day Adventist, Gay Male,
Cambodian, and Lesbian) who are experts in sexual abuse write about the
occurrence of sexua labuse in their cultures, and how to handle it. Racism
and other forms of discrimination are common topics.

<br> Examined whether design

when

were

White
<br>child abuse cases. The models were estimated with and without correction
<br>for SSB using a 2-step procedure (J. Heckman, 1979). Substantial
<br>differences were found in the characteristics of Black and White victims
by
<br>source of report and by type of maltreatment, and within each racial
group
<br>between sampled agencies and nonsampled agencies. SSB affected the
<br>estimation of child abuse reporting rates for both races. In the Black
<br>sample, however, SSB reduced the statistical significance of the impacts
of
<br>reporting agency and physical and sexual abuse on report rates. In
the
<br>White sample, most significant factors in the basic model remained
<br>statistically significant with correction for SSB. The authors suggest
that
<br>conclusions about racial differences in child maltreatment be reached
<br>cautiously, given the NIS study design. (PsycINFO Database Record (c)

<br> Examined the discrepancies
between child maltreatment cases known
<br>to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies and those known to
<br>professionals who regularly come into contact with children: teachers,
<br>hospital personnel, law enforcement officers, court personnel, and
social
<br>service workers. Analysis is based on the 1980 and 1986 National Study
of
<br>the Incidence and Severity of Child Abuse and Neglect. Research yielded
3
<br>major findings. First, older victims were less likely than younger
victims
<br>to be known to CPS agencies. Second, there is a hierarchy of type of
abuse
<br>reported to CPS agencies, with sexual abuse being at the top of the
list
<br>and educational neglect at the bottom of the list. Third, the victims'
<br>race, sex, and income did not play a role in whether or not a case
was
<br>reported to CPS agencies. (French & Spanish abstracts) (PsycINFO

Is anyone aware of any studies of male victims of sexual assault--kids
and/or adults--that looked at delayed reporting by the victim of the sexual
assault? If you have any leads, would you send them to me backchannel, please?
Thanks!
