The child welfare field recognizes that youth of some racial and ethnic backgrounds are over represented in the US system. African American and American Indian children, for example, are over represented in out-of-home care compared to their representation in the general population. Why does this happen? What are the consequences? How can it be prevented? This textbook seeks to answer these questions.
