The politics of kith and kin
This paper examines the events that occurred in British Columbia following the death of a First Nations child placed in a Kith and Kin arrangement. The paper, drawing extensively from internal government reports that were only just recently released to public, provides an “insider’s” view of government sponsored child welfare polices and practices in relation to First Nations child welfare agencies and the communities they serve
Who Owns Child Abuse
Expectations of contemporary child protection apparatuses are strongly influenced by beliefs inherited from the nineteenth century child rescue movement. In particular, the belief that child abuse determination is obvious. However, this assumption fails to make a distinction between nineteenth century’s emphasis on impoverished environments and the twentieth century introduction of the pathological child abuser. Moreover, the proliferation of kin…
Thinking Goudge
The increased valuation of children's lives characteristic of modern society emphasizes the problem of child abuse. Beginning in the 1960s, increased public awareness of child abuse led to increased attention to the professions concerned with child homicide. This attention has taken the form of inquiries into children's deaths that historically concentrated on social work 'error'. Recent inquiries have expanded their attention to other profession…
From Community to Public Safety Governance in Policing and Child Protection
The growing interoperability between policing and child protection in Canada and the United Kingdom suggests that we are in the midst of a governmental shift from community governance to public safety governance. Indeed, discourses emphasizing local expertise in policing and child protection have largely muted because of criticisms over the lack of interagency interconnectedness. Both countries have now developed national interagency databases fo…
The Responsibility Dance
Governmentality scholars conceive freedom as characterized by individuals' self-governance through responsible and prudent subjectivities. However, scholars have paid little attention to children and whether childhood subjectivities are equally subject to the neoliberal expectation of responsible self-governance. This article analyses two Canadian juridical examples of the perceived relationship between government, foster families and foster chil…
Risk, Morality, and Child Protection
Initially found in population studies designed to discover a link between child abuse and population categories, risk has been institutionalized in British Columbia through the use of a risk assessment tool presumed to measure danger to particular children. Recruitment of the risk speech genre reflects a need for government child protection workers to clearly articulate which children are in need of protection from "risks as they really are" whil…
