Several studies have explored the disproportionate number of children of color involved in child protective services, raising concerns that racial bias in the system results in more women of color being referred to child protection. The authors conducted a case series to analyze whether a woman's race and ethnicity influenced referrals to child protective services in a domestic violence context. Data were obtained through interview records of 263 women (38% women of color) at a Minneapolis-based advocacy and therapy organization. The findings suggest that women who face multiple forms of oppressions may have greater risk of being involved with child protection services.
多项研究探讨了儿童保护服务中涉及的有色人种儿童数量不成比例的问题,引发了人们对该系统中种族偏见导致更多有色人种女性被转介到儿童保护机构的担忧。作者进行了一个案例系列研究,以分析女性的种族和族裔是否会在家庭暴力背景下影响向儿童保护服务机构的转介情况。数据通过明尼阿波利斯一家倡导和治疗组织对263名女性(38%为有色人种女性)的访谈记录获得。研究结果表明,面临多种形式压迫的女性可能更有可能被儿童保护服务机构介入。
