Book Synopsis Nobody's Children by : Elizabeth Bartholet
Download or read book Nobody's Children written by Elizabeth Bartholet and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2000-11-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobody's Children is an intense look at child welfare policies on abuse and neglect, foster care, and adoption. Elizabeth Bartholet, one of the nation's leading experts on family law, challenges the accepted orthodoxy that treats children as belonging to their kinship and their racial groups and that locks them into inadequate biological and foster homes. She asks us to apply the lessons learned from the battered women's movement as we look at battered children, and to question why family preservation ideology still reigns supreme when children rather than adult women are involved. Bartholet asks us to take seriously the adoption option. She calls on the entire community to take responsibility for its children, to think of the children at risk of abuse and neglect as belonging to all of us, and to ensure that "Nobody's Children" become treasured members of somebody's family.
Book Synopsis Enhancing Neighborhoods for Children by :

Book excerpt: Researchers have long determined that the presence of social networks and informal social control mechanisms affect the outcome and well-being of children in neighborhoods. More specifically, levels of collective efficacy defined as trust, solidarity and the willingness to intervene on behalf of a public good among residents influences the quality of life of children. However, there has been little empirical research about the existence of collective efficacy for foster children who face numerous emotional, mental, educational and social challenges compared to other children who are indigenous to the neighborhood. Additionally, lacking within current literature is a portrait of the social, economic and demographic variables of neighborhoods as they relate to foster children. Thus, through research which began first as an ethnographic study on block clubs in the City of Buffalo, and the data prepared by the Center for Development of Human Services (CDHS), this thesis conducts a spatial examination of neighborhoods in the City of Buffalo where foster homes (N=480) placements took place.

Book Synopsis Same Situation, Different Outcomes by : Lilian Daisy Henderson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades researchers have discussed the significance of structural and cultural factors influencing child and family well-being. Factors such as parental attitudes and behaviors, socioeconomic status, household structure, among others, are a large part of understanding family outcomes. These factors have also been found to play a role in the overrepresentation of certain racial and ethnic groups in the child welfare system. In this dissertation, I explore the structural and cultural processes that influence the risk factors which result in the disproportionate placement of racial and ethnic minority children in the child welfare system. These processes have been categorized as the following risk factors: (a) individual and family, (b) community, and (c) systemic or organizational risk. However, researchers have not fully explored these risk factors within the spectrum of a culture-structure nexus; I focus on individual, family, and community risk factors in this research. Culture and social structure are relevant to the debate about disproportionality because national-, state-, and county-level data often reveal that families who are more likely involved in the child welfare system are those living in poverty and/or are of minority status who face many social problems that contribute to their continued disadvantaged position in American society. I focus on black families since research indicates that there is a disproportionate involvement of African American children in foster care compared to their presence in the general population. Using in-depth interviews, ethnographic observations, the comparative case method, and state-level (i.e, New York) data, I investigate the forces that contribute to the high relative rate of removal of biological children from African American homes resulting in out-of-home placement in Erie County, New York. Results suggest that both culture and structure are important in understanding variations in outcomes of the urban poor. Indeed, the problem of the placement of children into foster care have both structural and cultural origins that work in conjunction with each other but structural factors are precursors to cultural ones. Families who experienced placement of their children into foster care exhibited a lack of strong, intimate social networks compared to families who did not experience placement of their children. Moreover, my research indicates that when social relationships and social networks are not robust and fully functioning, disadvantage for parents is often a result. This disadvantage may be in the form of risk factors such as neglect and substance and physical abuse where parenting skills and techniques are not developed, taught, or observed; they may even be totally absent. I also find evidence of the social reproduction of foster care placement from one generation to the next but that the transmission of a certain type of habitus, cultural capital, and agency can help mitigate against this occurrence. In this study, I raise important methodological, theoretical, and policy issues.

Book Synopsis Children and Families in Communities by : Jacqueline Barnes
Download or read book Children and Families in Communities written by Jacqueline Barnes and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade the relationship between communities, children and families has inspired a wealth of research and policy initiatives because of a growing belief that the breakdown of families and communities is a significant factor in social problems, including child abuse and juvenile crime. The latest policy initiatives to tackle social problems have therefore targeted communities as well as high risk families. This title amalgamates the latest research on the relationship between children, families and communities and explores policy and practice implications. Material for practitioners and community development workers is also be included. The book is divided in to three parts: 1) theory 2) the effect of community on children, parents and families 3) interventions and policy implications.

Download or read book From Neurons to Neighborhoods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.
