In this paper we examined the relationship between neighborhood poverty and three different types of child maltreatment; neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. We explore both rates of reporting and rates of substantiated reports across low, moderate, and high poverty areas. We use 1990 Census data and Child Protective Services (CPS) data to study this relationship. We find that neighborhood poverty is positively associated with all three forms of child maltreatment, but to different degrees. Of the three types of child maltreatment, child neglect is most powerfully associated with neighborhood poverty status.
在本文中，我们研究了社区贫困与三种不同类型的儿童虐待之间的关系；忽视、身体虐待和性虐待。我们探讨了低、中、高贫困地区的举报率和经证实的举报率。我们使用1990年人口普查数据和儿童保护服务（CPS）数据来研究这种关系。我们发现，社区贫困与所有三种形式的儿童虐待都呈正相关，但程度不同。在三种类型的儿童虐待中，儿童忽视与社区贫困状况的关联最为强烈。
