Parental Criminalization and the Overrepresentation of Black Families in Child Protective Services
Racial disparities within child protective services are widely known. However, little is known about how the language used in historical policy documents related to the passing of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974 ultimately criminalized parents along racialized, gendered, and class-based lines. Using intersectionality and stigma as the frameworks and critical discourse analysis as the methodology, the authors analyzed the lang…
Understanding the expansion of social control and helping professionals as unwilling agents of the state
It is widely known that those in the helping professions are mandated to report suspected incidences of child maltreatment. However, few are aware of the historical resistance to mandated reporting that helping professionals demonstrated before the passing of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) of 1974 and the associated federal mandates that compelled helping professionals to engage in mandated reporting, oftentimes against thei…

The politics of child welfare
We Deserve to Thrive
The summer of 2020 saw a racial justice awakening among predominantly white scholars. While this 'awakening' or reckoning regarding the long-standing racism in society is welcomed and necessary, we must recognize the stark differences in how this work is felt and ultimately in how the work needs to be done by different groups in society.

This racial composition is remnant of our profession's history of upholding white supremacy and legacy of white saviorism. Not surprisingly, foundational teachings of social work center and champion white women (e.g., Jane Addams…
We Are Here for the Future of Our Kids
Every year, thousands of young refugees and their families face challenges as they adjust to schools in the US. This article explores how families resettled to the US from conflict-affected, Arab-majority countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, such as Iraq and Syria, view education, and how parents support their children’s education following the experiences of resettlement. To centre the voices and lived experiences of these famil…
A Practical Framework for Considering the Use of Predictive Risk Modeling in Child Welfare
Predictive risk modeling (PRM) is a new approach to data analysis that can be used to help identify risks of abuse and maltreatment among children. Several child welfare agencies have considered, piloted, or implemented PRM for this purpose. We discuss and analyze the application of PRM to child protection programs, elaborating on the various misgivings that arise from the application of predictive modeling to human behavior, and we present a fra…
Ecologies of care
While this study underscores the resilience of newcomers and the value of local support systems, it also reflects the importance of investment in schools, mental health systems, and resettlement programs that can enable newcomers to achieve their full potential
