This is one of the first studies to use New Zealand child maltreatment and neglect data from Child Youth and Family to explore what relationship exists between child maltreatment and neglect and socioeconomic status.
The data suggests there is no correlation between benefit receipt and child maltreatment.
• It finds there is an association between ethnicity and child maltreatment, however given the strong association between ethnicity and socioeconomic disadvantage in New Zealand this
finding needs to be treated with caution. (from Hightlights, p.2)
