Abstract
Children and parents interact with their environment in important ways that affect the likelihood of child maltreatment. Geographic disparities in social problems such as poverty and criminal activity, can lead to disparities in exposure to child maltreatment. The current chapter investigates the ways in which geographic context affects racial disparities in child maltreatment, the likelihood of maltreatment being reported to child protective services, and child protective services decision-making.
