Abstract
ABSTRACT Minority group and poor children are overrepresented in the child welfare system. Interpretations of the reasons for this overre-presentation are entangled by issues of race and class. This paper attempts to disentangle those relationships by analyzing the relationship between race and class in child welfare. The reasons for minority overrepresentation in the child protective system are identified. The implications for overrepresentation for practice and policy are discussed.
