Note. Based on data from 20 States: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia. The estimated rate of victims were based on the total number of victims reported within each ethnic group, divided by the child population for each ethnic group, multiplied by 1,000. By state for each race category, the proportions of Hispanic and Non-Hispanic were calculated for cases of known Hispanic ethnicity and these proportions were used to distribute the cases of "unknown" Hispanic ethnicity to a known category.
