This study compared the incidence and characteristics of reported child abuse cases in two different ethnic groups. Incidence was calculated based on the total number of cases (N = 2,854) reported to child protection authorities between July 17, 1988 and March 31, 1989. In a sample of 953 reports, the following were examined: the source of the reporting, type of abuse, substantiation and age of the child. The incidence was found to be slightly higher among Haitian group compared to French-Canadian group. In the former case, reporting tended to originate with public authorities such as the police or school personnel. Cases tended to consist mainly of physical abuse, with very few cases of sexual abuse. Most involved adolescents. These results suggest that child-rearing practices of Haitian families are in conflict with the values of the host community, and that there exist similar value-based conflicts between Haitian parents and their children.
本研究比较了两个不同种族群体中报告的儿童虐待案件的发生率和特征。发生率是根据1988年7月17日至1989年3月31日期间向儿童保护当局报告的案件总数（N = 2,854）计算得出的。在953份报告的样本中，对以下内容进行了检查：报告来源、虐待类型、证据确凿情况以及儿童年龄。结果发现，海地人群体中的发生率略高于法裔加拿大人群体。在前一种情况下，报告往往源自警方或学校工作人员等公共当局。案件主要倾向于身体虐待，性虐待案件极少。大多数涉及青少年。这些结果表明，海地家庭的育儿方式与东道社区的价值观相冲突，并且海地父母与其子女之间也存在类似的基于价值观的冲突。
