A victim may have been identified as more than one race, and therefore, the total percent may be more than 100.

This table breaks down the child victims by race. In the first column, it first lists the name of each State. The following columns each list race classifications as follows: African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, White, Multiple Race, Hispanic, Unknown/Unable to Determine, Total Victims. Each of these columns has two parts. The first is the number of children in each State who were classified as the specified race and the second is the percentage of maltreated children who were considered that race.
