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…
