Civil disobedience in the domestic sphere
This article considers women who establish diverse families, focusing on the hetero‐gay family as a point of departure. These women challenge patriarchal imperatives through implicit acts of civil disobedience, creating an alternative to the constraints of the traditional two‐parent different‐sex family. We show how the concept of civil disobedience, conventionally restricted to the field of law and public policy, applies as well to the domestic …
Projecting social support needs of informal caregivers in Malaysia
This article presents the findings of a self-report study of the consequences of being an informal caregiver in Malaysia. The aim of this exploratory study was to examine Malaysian efforts in assisting informal caregivers, based on an analysis of the issues and concerns raised by the caregivers themselves. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey of informal caregivers in 2009. This sample comprised parents, spouses and/or adult siblings,…

Pathways to Homelessness Among Middle-Aged Women
The country's homeless population has grown and diversified dramatically over the past two decades. Women now make up over 45% of this population, and while public concern about vulnerable children without homes has led to increased attention to the needs of homeless families, older homeless women without children have received far less attention. This study of 11 women aged 45 to 65 examines the circumstances that resulted in their becoming home…
Pathways to homelessness among middle-aged women
From Entitlement to Contract
Australia has sought to contain social welfare expenditures through more stringent targeting of benefits, increased scrutiny of applicants, and by requiring more vigorous job search and training activities. The changes implemented since the Labor Party assumed office in 1983 represent the most sweeping restructuring of the Australian welfare state in 50 years. They mark a shift from an individualistic, rights-based view of welfare state entitleme…
Teenage Pregnancy, Professional Agendas, and Problem Definitions
Many of the adverse consequences associated with adolescent childbearing are due to poverty and inadequate health care. Historically, definitions of the problem have emphasized individual, female culpability. Underlying social and economic factors have received less attention. For many adolescents, the early initiation of sexual activity and the failure to use birth control is associated with their perception of limited life opportunities, as wel…
National Problems, Local Solutions
This study identifies a number of factors associated with the successful development and maintenance of local comprehensive adolescent pregnancy programs in the US. The comprehensive programs were located in communities with relatively well-developed social welfare infrastructures. They received basic state support and were able to tap a wide variety of federal, state, and local resources. These comprehensive programs were managed by skillful adm…
Limits of the Comprehensive Services Model

Limits of the comprehensive services model
During the past 15 to 20 years a comprehensive services model, incorporating health, social, and educational components, has been the preferred mechanism for addressing the problems associated with adolescent pregnancy. This paper offers an assessment of the model based on a study of ten communities in four states. The widely recognized service needs of pregnant teenagers give the model a compelling logic, but we find inherent obstacles that seri…

Accountability of Social Service Workers at the Front Line
This article considers how social service workers and supervisors in a state public welfare department view their jobs in light of managerial efforts to make these jobs more accountable. While the front-line social service work force values the security, salary, and benefits, particularly in view of the limited alternatives available to them, most believe management to be out of touch with the realities of social service work. They are suspicious…
Street-Level Bureaucrats and Institutional Innovation
Recent state and federal legislation holds the promise of sweeping reform in special-education practices. In this article, Richard Weatherley and Michael Lipsky examine the implementation of Chapter 766, the dramatically innovative state special-education law in Massachusetts. They show how the necessary coping mechanisms that individual school personnel use to manage the demands of their jobs may, in the aggregate, constrain and distort the impl…
