Race and Poverty: Growth Areas for the Social Work Research Agenda
The list of social, psychological, economic, and environmental challenges requiring social work research and practice responsiveness is substantial. Conducting high-quality cultural responsive research to positively affect the social, psychological, economic, and environmental entries on the social work research to-do list is essential. On this wide-ranging list are two areas where social work research should place a stronger focus for future res…
Developing a Social Work Workforce: We Need Additional Data
I consider social work to be undergoing a renaissance period. There is great energy, activity, and discourse within and across the profession. I know that the following statement may sound like a hyperbole. It appears that the profession is on the precipice of making a much-needed transition in defining itself and exploring new substantive areas for research, training, and education. There continues to be growth in our research enterprise. The se…
Animal Cruelty among Children in Violent Households: Children’s Explanations of their Behavior
Concomitant Exposure to Animal Maltreatment and Socioemotional Adjustment among Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence: A Mixed Methods Study
Political Landscape: The Times They Are a-Changing
There was a noteworthy change in the political landscape across the United States since my last editorial. The outcome of the 58th quadrennial American presidential election was the defeat of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Tim Kaine to businessman Donald Trump and Governor Mike Pence. On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The outcome of the election had been considered un…
Approaches for Research in Global Environments
Over the previous two-plus decades, social work has witnessed a notable increase in scholarship and education focused on international social work practice and global social issues. This growth in research and curriculum development on global practice has promoted new collaborations and training opportunities. Social work researchers can be important contributors to this global scholarly and training agenda. The profession has made tremendous pro…
A Collaborative Framework for Envisioning the Future of Social Work Research and Education
Social workers practice in an environment where the inequities that face our clients continue to grow and increase. Disparities by race, income, and other social dimensions continue to expand and challenge our society and the core values of our profession. It is imperative that social work research supports good policy and practice approaches to eliminate health, income, and education disparities so that all members of society have the same socia…
Supporting Quality Research across the Profession
This issue marks the completion of my fifth year as Editor-in-Chief. In 2017, Social Work Research published four editorials, 18 research articles, and two research notes. My colleagues on the editorial board and our consulting editors have done exceptional work over the past year. They always step forward when asked to review the large volume of manuscripts that the journal receives and maintain a high standard for the quality of scholarship pub…
A Template Analysis of Intimate Partner Violence Survivors’ Experiences of Animal Maltreatment: Implications for Safety Planning and Intervention
This study explores the intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV) and animal cruelty in an ethnically diverse sample of 103 pet-owning IPV survivors recruited from community-based domestic violence programs. Template analysis revealed five themes: (a) Animal Maltreatment by Partner as a Tactic of Coercive Power and Control, (b) Animal Maltreatment by Partner as Discipline or Punishment of Pet, (c) Animal Maltreatment by Children, (d) Emotio…
Patterns of Adjustment among Children Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence: A Person-Centered Approach
Social Work Research 2013–2016: Reflections on Four Years as Editor-in-Chief
It was four years ago I was appointed as editor-in-chief (EIC) of Social Work Research. As I reflected back on my work as EIC, I realized that this is my fifteenth editorial. I decided that with this editorial I would take the opportunity to do a brief review of the past four years. I wrote an editorial at the midpoint acknowledging the wonderful work of my colleagues on the editorial board and the consulting editors (Williams, 2014a). Over the p…

Where Is the Evidence: Can We Develop Stronger Research and Scientific Approaches to Understand Complex Systems and Interactions
After contributing to an editorial titled “The Future of Social Work Education,” (Robbins, Regan, Williams, Smyth, & Bogo, in press), I thought I would take a similar approach for this editorial on social work research. There has been tremendous growth in recent years in knowledge development in social work. The scientific literature relevant to social work practice has grown expansively. The growth in the number of social work peer-reviewed jour…
Children’s Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence and their Social, School, and Activities Competence: Latent Profiles and Correlates
Potential Impact of Teachers in Securing Mental Health Services for African American Children in Urban Schools
In a previous issue, I authored an editorial on African American children and the widening of the achievement gap (Williams, 2014). As a follow-up to that editorial, I think it would be appropriate to discuss another challenge for urban schools, to better serve the unmet behavioral health needs of African American students. Teachers are an untapped resource in addressing the unmet mental health services needs of inner-city African American childr…
Marshaling Social Responses to Environmental Changes
At the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) 2016 conference, the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare (AASWSW) will officially announce the 12 Grand Challenges for Social Work (GCSW). AASWSW did a soft rollout of a preliminary set of Grand Challenges at the SSWR 2015 conference. After the 2015 preliminary rollout, additional adjustments were conducted and additional feedback was incorporated in preparation for the official an…
The Children's Treatment of Animals Questionnaire: A Rasch Analysis
The study of human–animal interactions is limited by a paucity of empirically validated measures of humane treatment of companion animals. The current study reports findings from a psychometric analysis of the Children's treatment of animals Questionnaire (CTAQ; thompson and Gullone 2003), an instrument that assesses children's humane interactions with nonhuman animals. Specifically, the current study extends what is known about the psychometric …
Conflict and Human Security in Africa: Kenya in Perspective
Violence in Context: Current Evidence on Risk, Protection, and Prevention
This book offers a critical appraisal of research and theory focused on violence in youth, families, and communities. Chapters examine the ways in which violence is defined and understood; how risk and protective factors promote and inhibit violence in families and in communities; and how violence and related behaviors differ by gender, race, and ethnicity. Work reviewed throughout the book examines overlapping forms of violence, the impact of vi…
The effects of individual characteristics, teacher practice, and school organizational factors on students' bullying: A multilevel analysis of public middle schools in Taiwan
Child Maltreatment and Delinquency Onset Among African American Adolescent Males
Child welfare and criminology research have increasingly sought to better understand factors that increase the likelihood that abused and neglected children will become involved in the juvenile justice system. However, few studies have addressed this relationship among African American male adolescents. The current study examines the relationship between child maltreatment (i.e., neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and other/mixed abuse) and t…

Friends, Family, and Neighborhood: Understanding Academic Outcomes of African American Youth
This study examines the relationship between academic performance and a number of contextual factors for African American freshmen in an urban setting. Living arrangements, relatives and friends’ religiosity, exposure to academic success, and neighborhood perceptions were analyzed to investigate their impact on intention to complete school, grade point average (GPA), and number of suspensions. Results indicate that gender, church attendance by pe…

Black Dating Professionals' Perceptions of Equity, Satisfaction, Power, and Romantic Alternatives and Ideals
Blacks are the largest group of single individuals in America; they also have the lowest male to female gender balance. However, little is known about the romantic perceptions of single Black daters. Data were obtained via a question-naire from a group of professional single Black men (n = 44) and Black women (n = 91). Of interest were perceptions of their existing relationships with respect to satisfaction, equity, power, and romantic alternativ…
