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> <BR>

on <BR>racial differences in child abuse reporting." Child Abuse &
Neglect 22(2): <BR>103-115.
<BR> Examined whether design
features of Wave 1, 1980 National <BR>Incidence Study (NIS) data resulted in
sample selection bias (SSB) when <BR>certain victims of maltreatment were
excluded. Logistic regression models <BR>for the probability of child abuse
report to child protective services were <BR>estimated using maximum
likelihood methods for 511 Black and 2,499 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)

<P>Ards, S. and A. Harrell (1993). "Reporting of child maltreatment: A
<BR>secondary analysis of the National Incidence surveys." Child Abuse &
<BR>Neglect 17(3): 337-344.
<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

work on <BR>measuring whether certain risk assessment tools function in a
racially <BR>biased manner.
<P>Rick Barth at UNC has also done some work in this area.
<P>Good luck!

The California Coalition on Sexual Offending (CCOSO) is in the process of
writing a position paper on family reunification of sexual offenders (adult
and adolescent.) We would appreciate receiving protocols or papers on the
subject. Thanks you
