Asian-American victims Infrequently Seek Help from Police

Asian-American victims of domestic violence infrequently look for help from police or medical professionals - "an alarming trend" among the many fastest-growing racial groups in the United States, says a Michigan State University researcher.

While ethnic barriers can suppress victims from finding help, there also is not enough culturally touchy services offered to them, said Hyunkag Cho, assistant professor of cultural work.

"Resources and health care providers should be there with maximum information and resources for adequately dealing with the requirements of victims of domestic violence among Asians along with other racial minorities," Cho said.

Based on a recent Pew Research Center state, Asian-Americans are now the quickest growing racial group in the United States, making up 36 percent of most immigrants who found its way to 2010. Latinos were really second, at 31 percent.
