Re: Overrepresentation of Child of Color in CPS

["Becky Bolen" <bbolen@xxxxxx>]

The NCANDS reports show the incidence rates of abuse by race/ethnicity
identified by cps, with over-representations in populations of color.

The latest report is: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
Administration on children, Youth and Families. Child Maltreatment 1999.
(Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 2001). It is also online
at www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cb.
