Abstract
Utilizing a crosstabulation between data collected by the Migrant Student Records Transfer System and the New York State Central Register, it was determined that 298 of the 7,408 migrant children, age 18 years or younger, censused in 1982 were on file as having been maltreated in 1982. This rate, 40.2 per 1,000, is substantially higher than the rate found for upstate New York children (5.5). Maltreatment rates also varied by migrant status and household composition.
