The data set the stage for a more detailed analysis of differential outcomes.

As part of one such framework, this section also summarizes evidence related to a complicated and controversial issue: the extent to which race is associated differentially with child maltreatment.

The fourth section identifies directions for future research. Racial Equity in Child Welfare: Key Themes, Findings and Perspectives -
