Treating Clients Fairly
The equitable distribution of maintenance, or care, services derives principally from the decision-making activities of the line workers in a service program. When program rules and guidelines are relatively general and awards are specific, workers develop functions which relate client need to program benefit. However, among counties and offices within a county, these functions may differ, resulting in inequitable service awards to clients. An em…
Referral
Referral increases the resources available to address client problems, but it also consumes the scarce resources, especially worker time, of the referring agency. This latter fact justifies the search for more efficient ways to carry out the activity. The study reported here moves in that direction by investigating two referral activities, client contacts and collateral contacts, and describes the productivity of each. The specific findings are t…

Definitions of social welfare generally recognize '...the mutually supportive obligations of people to each other'. Yet many serious and competent social thinkers apparently deny the significance of reciprocity in those social exchanges that are arranged as a matter of social policy. The pr…
Assessing Theoretical Models of Community Organization Practice
The Uneven Growth of Community Organization Theory is Attributed to the Absence of an Analytic Framework for Comparing and Evaluating Existing Practice Models. A Paradigm Potentially Useful to This End is Offered. The Practice Variations and Rationales Associated With Saul Alinsky are used to Illustrate the Organized Statements Made Possible by the Paradigm
