Does Culture Matter: The Characteristics of Adolescent Physical Abuse Cases Investigated by Montreal's English Youth Protection Services
|
| Abstract |
The author asks whether there is greater normative tolerance for physical discipline within certain ethno-cultural groups? She examines the characteristics of 72 physical abuse cases reported to Montreal's English Youth Protection Services over a two-year period. Almost half of the cases (49%) involved visible minority youth. The author used cross tabulations of 68 variables to compare two groups: visible minority
and Caucasian youth. Factors such as immigration and acculturation stressors and a parent having been subject to physical punishment as a child were more prominent in
cases involving visible minority youth, while parental mental health problems occurred more frequently in cases involving Caucasian youth.
