Reflections on the Teaching of Evidence-Based Practice
As the process of evidence-based practice (EBP) gains a foothold in the curricula of schools of social work and the various helping professions, instructors have been encountering a unique set of challenges.

On the other hand, instructors may find themselves in the awkward position of challengin…
Operationalizing Evidence-Based Practice
Although evidence-based practice (EBP) has received increasing attention in social work in the past few years, there has been limited success in moving from academic discussion to engaging social workers in the process of implementing EBP in practice. This article describes the challenges, successes, and future aims in the process of developing a university-based institute for evidence-based social work. Aspects of the development include attempt…

Recent longitudinal research employing complex measurement and analytic strategies has generated new, more intricate conceptualizations of the relationship between family life and delinquency, all of which have important implications for intervention with delinquents and their families. This critical review of the current research on the role of the family, its implications for family-based interventions with delinquents, and the existing treatme…
Family Processes and Delinquency in an Ecological Context
We tested an ecological model hypothesizing that family context influences parenting, which in turn influences adolescent behavior. Results for 864 adolescents and their parents showed that the family's disadvantaged neighborhood, life distress, social isolation, and lack of partner support were associated with dysfunctional parenting that increases delinquency. However, economic hardship per se was not associated with dysfunctional parenting. Be…
