The Changing Status of the Undergraduate Literature Survey Course
Requirements for the undergraduate major in Hispanic literature and offerings of Spanish peninsular and Latin American literature courses surveying the canon, masterpieces, major works, major authors, major trends, or representative works at fifty-six selected US colleges and universities were examined for academic years 1990–91, 2002–03, 2013–14, and 2017–18. The number of literature survey courses at these institutions decreased during this 27-…
The best Laid Plans: Obstacles to the Implementation of Plans for Children
Gareth Roach and Robert Sanders describe a study of the obstacles to the implementation of plans for children in a South Wales local authority. The files of 20 children, selected sequentially, were examined using a content analysis methodology. Ten were children in need of protection living at home with their families and ten were looked after children. Information was extracted from child protection plans, core group meetings, care plans and car…
Child Protection
Agency policy and the participation of children and young people in the child protection process
This article explores agency policy in relation to children's participation in the child protection process. This was done by examining policy documents and conference minutes and by interviewing social workers and conference chairs working in child protection in Wales. Issues and dilemmas surrounding the participation of children and young people in the child protection process are identified and examined. The lack of children's more direct part…
Closing the gap? The effectiveness of referred access family support services
This paper presents findings from a study of the effectiveness of family support services provided through two family centres run by a voluntary agency in partnership with a South Wales local authority. It evaluates the effectiveness of family support services by looking at both the family views and a number of measurable outcomes in terms of reported changes in family functioning and the well‐being of children and parents. Interventions were mon…
Community Based Learning in Rural Guatemala
In June of 2003, fourteen university students and two faculty completed the pilot for an alternative study abroad program in Guatemala that focused on Community Based Learning in rural Guatemalan schools. The pilot was highly successful for the participating students and schools. The program immerses students in Guatemalan culture while providing intensive language instruction and community service experience. The participating Guatemalan schools…
In the Firing Line: Violence and Power in Child Protection Work
Frequency and Specificity of Referents to Violence in News Reports of Anti-gay Attacks
Two studies were conducted to test the hypotheses that: (1) news reports of anti-gay attacks would use fewer and vaguer referents to the violence than similar stories about attacks against straight persons; and (2) this milder use of referents would cause readers to perceive less harm done and to blame the perpetrator less. A content analysis of two newspapers found that one used far fewer, less specific nominals to refer to anti-gay than to anti…
The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…

Policy priorities in child protection: Perception of risk and agency strategy
A growing consensus among researchers and practitioners that the current emphasis on identification and investigation of child abuse may be counter‐productive has been slow to produce changes at the policy level. Using the operation of interagency Area Child Protection Committees as an example, this paper suggests that professional and managerial perception of risk of public criticism or media exposure play a significant part in determining polic…
Degrees of Involvement: The Interaction of Focus and Commitment in Area Child Protection Committees

(Psychology) and an MA (Psychology) from New York, and obtained his CQSW and M.Sc. (Applied Social Studies) at the LSE. He has practised in local authority child and family work, specializing in under 5's services, child protection and children in substitute family care before entering the training and educat…
The police role in the management of child protection services
The involvement of police in child protection services has undergone substantial changes since the mid 1970s when there was a dramatic increase in emphasis placed on interagency coordination and cooperation. However, the literature on child protection, whilst addressing issues of how agencies work together in individual cases of abuse, says very little about how the services available for abused children and their families are jointly managed. Th…
