Abstract

Purpose: This paper presents a re-analysis of the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) data presented by Briggs et al. (2022). Methods: We review five components of that article: The aims, variables, analytic strategy, analysis, and conclusions. Results: We conclude that several of the NCANDS variables used are invalid at the national level, and that this is sufficient to call the research into question. We find concerning issues in analytic strategy and analysis as well, many stemming from a failure to account for the serious underreporting of services in NCANDS, and the wide variability in data quality and consistency across states. We also found what we consider to be issues with their statistical analysis. Discussion: The reanalysis presented in this article shows no pattern of disparate within Child Protective Services (CPS) outcomes by race and, therefore, no support for the Briggs et al. claim of pervasive anti-Black racism within the CPS system.

贫穷还是种族主义？对Briggs等人2022的再分析

目的：本文对Briggs等人（2022）提供的国家虐待和忽视儿童数据系统（NCANDS）数据进行了重新分析。方法：我们回顾了这篇文章的五个组成部分：目的、变量、分析策略、分析和结论。结果：我们得出的结论是，所使用的几个NCANDS变量在国家层面上是无效的，这足以使研究受到质疑。我们在分析策略和分析中也发现了令人担忧的问题，其中许多问题源于未能解释NCANDS中服务的严重少报，以及各州数据质量和一致性的巨大差异。我们还发现了他们的统计分析存在的问题。讨论：本文中的重新分析没有显示出儿童保护服务（CPS）内部按种族划分的不同结果模式，因此，也没有支持Briggs等人关于CPS系统中普遍存在反黑人种族主义的说法。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
