Are Racial Groups Associated with Recurrence of Adult Protective Services
Little is known about the recurrence differences among diverse race/ethnic groups in the Adult Protective Services (APS). This mixed methods triangulation design study used data from both administrative databases and interview/focus groups with APS social workers to explore whether race/ethnic groups are associated with different recurrence in APS. The recurrence rate of APS was 21.4% in the sample of 4,426 clients in a county of California. Resu…
Reading German Girlhood
This article addresses the legacies of Louise Tilly's work on women and the family in Europe for current studies of girls’ agency in history. Using my preliminary analysis of a body of German periodicals written for girls during the late Enlightenment, I propose some methodological possibilities for combining cultural histories of reading with social historical approaches to the roles played by girls and women in European social life. Tilly's foc…
Each word shows how you love me”
This article draws on hundreds of letters that formed German children’s correspondence with their parents, other relatives, teachers and friends, written mostly between the 1780s and 1850s. Through this study, we see the part literacy played in transformations of bourgeois childhood in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Europe. The article further investigates how children used letters as a means of learning sociability and building relationships…
Providing a Sound Educational Framework for Foster Youth
Youth living in out-of-home care often have multiple risk factors for school failure. Family disruption and frequent moves between schools compromise a student's ability to succeed in school. When mental health and behavioral issues compound these risk factors, students are at even greater risk. Despite the poor academic outcomes for foster youth, few programs aim to reduce risk and promote school success for this population. Few researchers have…
Introducing Simultaneous Equation Modeling for Social Work Research
Social science researchers generally use simple, single equation descriptions of complex social problems. More accurate descriptions would portray the joint dependency among a model's variables by using a separate equation for each dependent variable. When the parameters of these more accurately described models are estimated with ordinary least squares (OLS), the resulting estimates do not have good statistical properties. A two-stage least squa…
Understanding the Geospatial Relationship of Neighborhood Characteristics and Rates of Maltreatment for Black, Hispanic, and White Children
The disproportionate number of racial and ethnic minority children in the child welfare system concerns many child welfare professionals. Few studies have investigated how neighborhood processes may contribute to this disparity. This study examined how neighborhood characteristics are associated with rates of child maltreatment for black, Hispanic, and white children. Spatial regression procedures were used to analyze data from 940 census tracts …
"Seen and Not Heard" Sociological Approaches to Childhood
In this article, the authors consider the socio-historical conceptions of childhood in relation to Black children and their unique relationship with child welfare institutions. Against this background we apply models of childhood to issues of race and social agency and argue that these elements have been inadequately addressed in developmental models of childhood. Following these concerns, we present a social model of childhood and consider how t…
