Tang, Catherine So-kum
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v22 n5 p381-91 May 1998
A telephone survey of 1,019 Chinese Hong Kong households found families showed slightly lower rates of minor violence than U.S. families, but higher rates of severe violence toward children. The highest rate of severe violence occurred among boys or children ages 3-6. Female caregivers were the most likely abusers. (Author/CR)
