14.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue'>This study feels a bit problematic to me
for several reasons. For instance, we know that drug use is similar for whites
and blacks, but drug arrests are way higher for blacks. So, what is the point,
exactly, of studying drug ARRESTS? Arrests don’t necessarily correlate to
drug use or even sales (alcohol and prescription drug abuse, for instance,
rarely lead to arrest, but can lead to intoxication that contributes to child
abuse and neglect). So what I think you’re going to end up finding is
that—yes—where the police have a high presence you will find high
rates of both drug ARRESTS and child maltreatment REPORTS. But this will not
have much to do with any real correlation between drug/alcohol use or child
maltreatment occurrence, both of which occur but are not generally <span
class=GramE>discovered/prosecuted</span> among the wealthy and the White. Once
again, the communities where some people make their living in the drug trade
will be stigmatized.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
