child abuse in the black community nationwide is about 2.5 times the mean.
whites are about .75 of the mean
hispanics are about 1.4 times the mean
asians (orientals..whatever) are about .5 of the mean
there is obviously a racial component to this ...amongst other factors
how can the statistics even claim to be close? the number who do not report abuse is HIGH, so no one knows the real number. sometimes the reports don’t come in until the abuser has KILLED the victim and then it is too late. sometimes the police don’t believe the victim because there weren’t good enough photos for them to take. the number on whites is low because of the other issues involved with whites. asians don’t report because of the ‘dishonor and disgrace’ and what it says in their culture. statistics won’t be accurate, IMHO.
