Child abuse and neglect referral patterns
Forced Exit From Welfare
A study of 129 families in one New Jersey county who had been terminated from public assistance as a result of federal cutbacks in 1981 revealed severe hardships in such basic areas as food, clothing, housing and medical care. The study found that within this disadvantaged group, Hispanic and black families were the most deprived. The results of the study bring into serious question the validity of the premise on which the welfare regulations of …
Child maltreatment as a social problem
Child maltreatment is analyzed utilizing a "social problem" framework. Although data reveal that child neglect is more prevalent and its consequences as serious as child abuse, it has received far less attention than has abuse.

The results support the centrality of material and social deprivation as factors leading to child maltreatment. A high level of material depri…
Research Data as Aides in Formulating Agency Policy
Excerpt from the full-text article: Much is being written these days about the role of evaluation in the formulation of social policy. While few writers question the need for basing policy on systematic evaluation a good deal of the literature appears to focus on the obstacles in Larrying out as well as applying evaluative research. By contrast, the number of studies which in the eyes of critics measure up to minimum standards of scientific adequ…
