Media plays a crucial role in shaping narratives concerning beef's future in agri‐food systems, influencing co…

  • Addressing the “Broken” System of Child Welfare

    Open AccessKatharine Briar‐Lawson, Priscilla A Day et al.ARTICLEFamilies in Society The Journal…2025

    Three claims in Jessica Pryce’s Broken: Transforming Child Protective Services inform this article. These are (a) the system of surveillance and punishment of the poor, especially Indigenous and families of color, must be replaced with support to families, (b) casework practice is transactional and performative, and (c) neglect should not be conflated with poverty. We review briefly the history of CAPTA and ICWA arguing that ICWA’s “active effort…
