Download or read book Child Maltreatment Risk Assessments written by Sue Righthand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conduct targeted and focused evaluations of child abuse and neglect! Child Maltreatment Risk Assessments: An Evaluation Guide is a professional practice manual designed to assist clinicians in conducting forensic risk assessment in child maltreatment cases. The authors—each with an extensive background in forensic child abuse evaluation—present up-to-date research findings and provide practical, fact-based information on key issues. The book is an essential reference source on procedural issues, treatment options, and risk management strategies necessary to make high-quality, ethical evaluations. Child maltreatment risk assessments are complex, specialized evaluations with the potential for permanent legal termination of all parent-child contact on one hand, and the possibility of injury and even death on the other. Because of the weighty nature of these issues, the legal standards imposed on individual states to justify intervention is great, and evaluators must be well versed in the most current material available. Child Maltreatment Risk Assessments provides up-to-date information on the effects of maltreatment, empirically based risk factors for child abuse and neglect, specialized assessment techniques and interventions,and professional practice issues. The book emphasizes the importance of individual and cultural differences. Child Maltreatment Risk Assessments also includes a step-by-step guide to conducting and writing quality evaluations, including: components of an evaluation report forensic versus clinical evaluations methods of assessment assessment domains and much more! Child Maltreatment Risk Assessments: An Evaluation Guide is an invaluable tool for clinicians, lawyers and judges, human service agency personnel, and others involved in child maltreatment cases as well as students who represent the next generation of clinicians working in child abuse prevention and treatment.
Book Synopsis Protecting Children in the Age of Outrage by : Radha Jagannathan
Download or read book Protecting Children in the Age of Outrage written by Radha Jagannathan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes what, to many professionals in the child welfare field, will appear a radically different explanation for our society's decisions to protect children from harm and for the significant drop in substantiated child abuse numbers. At the center of this conceptual and analytic approach is the contention that social outrage emanating from horrific and often sensationalized cases of child maltreatment plays a major role in CPS decision making and in child outcomes. The ebb and flow of outrage, we believe, invokes three levels of response that are consistent with patterns of the number of child maltreatment reports made to public child welfare agencies, the number of cases screened-in by these CPS agencies, the proportions of alleged cases substantiated as instances of real child abuse or neglect, and the numbers of children placed outside their homes. At the community level, outrage produces amplified surveillance and a posture of "zero-tolerance" while child protection workers, in turn, carry out their duties under a fog of "infinite jeopardy." With outrage as a driving force, child protective services organizations are forced into changes that are disjointed and highly episodic; changes which follow a course identified in the natural sciences as abrupt equilibrium changes. Through such manifestations as child safety legislation, institutional reform litigation of state child protective services agencies, massive retooling of the CPS workforce, the rise of community surveillance groups and moral entrepreneurs, and the exploitation of fatality statistics by media and politicians we find evidence of outrage at work and its power to change social attitudes, worker decisions and organizational culture. In this book, Jungian psychology intersects with the punctuated equilibrium theory to provide a compelling explanation for the decisions made by public CPS agencies to protect children.
Book Synopsis Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports by : Jerome Beker
Download or read book Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports written by Jerome Beker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seminal book in the literature of child protective services stimulates critical thinking and informed discussion for those professionals and educators concerned with the quality of children’s protective services. The first book of its kind to present scholarly reports on false allegations, Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports tackles the age-old problem of deciding which reports, verbal or written, represent truth and which represent falsehood. When one deals with accusations in the area of child maltreatment, special problems are posed. This vital resource brings home the complexity and seriousness of confronting the need to separate true reports from false reports. Given the serious consequences of reports of maltreatment, determining the accuracy or inaccuracy of such reports is of major critical importance to all concerned and the parents, children, and professionals directly involved. This book deals effectively and practically with the everyday work of assessing the validity and reliability of maltreatment reports and guides professionals through rough waters of finding truth with helpful research. This courageous book provides hope for establishing a deeper understanding of the broad system of child protection and consequently, enables professionals to better handle individual crises and cases. Containing a range of chapters--authored by leading academic researchers and practitioners in child welfare services in the United States--which examine the policy and practice issues related to false allegations of child abuse and neglect, this volume provides guideposts for further research and discussion. College and university students in child welfare and related programs, human service practitioners working in child protective and welfare services, and the larger public--both parents and professionals working with children--who have an interest in this important issue, will find Assessing Child Maltreatment Reports a compassionate approach to a sensitive issue.
Book Synopsis Referral Patterns and Service Provision in Child Protective Services: Child, Caregiver, and Case Predictors by : Hannah Mead Holbrook
Download or read book Referral Patterns and Service Provision in Child Protective Services: Child, Caregiver, and Case Predictors written by Hannah Mead Holbrook and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child maltreatment, and recurrent maltreatment in particular, occurs at an alarmingly high rate. Frequency of reports to Child Protective Services (CPS) is associated with negative psychological outcomes, and children whose reports are unsubstantiated experience similar risk of behavioral, emotional, and substance use disorders as those whose reports are substantiated. Prior research has demonstrated that children with no CPS reports and children with one CPS report showed no significant differences in rates of maltreatment perpetration or substance use in adulthood, suggesting that prevention efforts after one report may have strong merit in reducing negative outcomes in adulthood. However, patterns and risk factors of unsubstantiated reports have been only minimally explored thus far, despite having been found to predict subsequent maltreatment. The current study extends upon previous research by (a) examining both substantiated and unsubstantiated reports to identify longitudinal patterns of timing and recurrence and (b) assessing the extent to which service provision mediates long-term recurrence after each type of report. Analyses were conducted using subsamples of a longitudinal national dataset from 2011-2015 containing data from CPS reports for 3,655,951 children. Measures included child, caregiver, and CPS case characteristics obtained at the time of first report in 2011. Latent class analysis of referral patterns indicated four classes of recurrence patterns: (1) 2011 unsubstantiation followed by moderate recurrence, (2) 2011 unsubstantiation followed by low recurrence, (3) 2011 substantiation followed by moderate recurrence, and (4) 2011 substantiation followed by low recurrence. Multinomial logistic regression with most likely class membership as the outcome variable indicated that domestic violence, caregiver substance abuse, and poverty were better predictors of initial substantiation status than of long-term recurrence. Prior victimization was predictive of initial substantiation status as well as long-term recurrence. Asian American race predicted low rates of recurrence. Latent class analysis of service provision revealed only two classes: a class of children who received services and a class of children who did not. Service provision partially mediated associations between initial substantiation status and five-year maltreatment recurrence, as measured by number of subsequent reports, number of subsequent substantiated reports, and number of subsequent years in foster care. Limitations are considered and implications of using predictive modeling to drive service prioritization are discussed.

Book Synopsis Child Maltreatment Assessment and Recidivism by : Helen Katherine Mudd
Download or read book Child Maltreatment Assessment and Recidivism written by Helen Katherine Mudd and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative dissertation examines risk assessment and recidivism of child maltreatment to determine the relationship between child protective services provided by the Kentucky Department of Protection and Permanency and risk of harm. A chart review of existing data on 3,235 closed Kentucky child protective services cases provides information about the quality of service provided to families, the reduction of risk of maltreatment assessed in the family, and the rate of recidivism following case closure. This dissertation examines the usefulness of the Continuous Quality Assessment tool (CQA) and its effectiveness in assessing risk. The CQA is an assessment tool that is designed to guide child protective workers in making case decisions throughout the life of the case. This dissertation on risk assessment and recurrence of maltreatment adds to the measurable outcomes of effectiveness for child protection services and enhances a public child welfare agency's ability to improve service delivery to families. A modified one-group pretest posttest design was utilized to assess the dependent variables, risk of maltreatment and recurrence of maltreatment, before and after casework services were provided. Changes in risk of maltreatment were measured by the cumulative rating on the assessment tool, as well as by scores in the specific risk domains: maltreatment, sequence of events (how well the family is managing their high-risk situations), family development stages, family choice of discipline, adult patterns of behavior, child/youth development, and family support. The second dependent variable, recurrence of maltreatment, was measured by the number of reports of maltreatment investigated in the year following case closure. Findings highlight the success of solution-based casework in creating change. Variables found to be significantly related to reduction in risk include (a) the length of time a case was open for the current treatment episode, (b) region of service, (c) supervisor gender, (d) CQA individual risk domains, and (e) expertise of worker. Variables found to be significantly related to recurrence of maltreatment include (a) CQA safety rating and individual risk domains, (b) worker's level of skill, (c) type of abuse, (d) number of substantiated referrals in case at closure, (e) a prior episode of treatment, and (f) geographic region of service.
Book Synopsis Applying Neural Network Models to Predict Recurrent Maltreatment in Child Welfare Cases with Static and Dynamic Risk Factors by : Jennifer Marie Jolley

This book was released on 2012 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessment in child welfare has a long tradition of being based on models that assume the likelihood of recurrent maltreatment is a linear function of its various predictors (Gambrill & Shlonsky, 2000). Despite repeated testing of many child, parent, family, maltreatment incident, and service delivery variables, no consistent set of findings have emerged to describe the set of risk and protective factors that best account for increases and decreases in the likelihood of recurrent maltreatment. Shifts in predictors' statistical significance, strength, and direction of effects coupled with evidence of risk assessment models' poor predictive accuracy have led to questions regarding the fit between assumptions of linearity and the true relationship between the likelihood of recurrent maltreatment and its predictors (Gambrill & Shlonsky, 2000, 2001; Knoke & Trocmé, 2005). Hence, this dissertation study uses a distinctly nonlinear approach to modeling the likelihood of recurrent maltreatment by employing a combination of random forest and neural network models to identify the predictors that best explain the risk of recurrent maltreatment. The risk of recurrent maltreatment was assessed for a cohort of children living in a large Midwestern metropolitan area who were first reported for maltreatment between January 1, 1993 and January 1, 2002. Administrative child welfare records for 6,747 children were merged with administrative records from income maintenance, mental health, special education, juvenile justice, and criminal justice systems in order to identify the effects that various public sector service system contacts have on the risk of recurrent maltreatment. Each child was followed for a period of at least seven years to identify the risk of recurrent maltreatment in relationship to a second report for maltreatment. Post-hoc analyses comparing the predictive validity of the neural network model and a binary logistic regression model with random intercepts shows that the neural network model was superior in its predictive validity with an area under the ROC curve of 0.7825 in comparison with an area under the ROC curve of 0.7552 for the logistic regression model. Additional post-hoc analyses provided empirical insight into the four prominent risk factors and four risk moderating service variables that best explain variation in the risk of recurrent maltreatment. Specifically, the number of income maintenance spells received, community-level poverty, the child's age at the first maltreatment report, and the parent's status as the perpetrator of the first maltreatment incident defined 21 risk-based groups where the average probability of recurrent maltreatment was dependent upon values for the four primary risk factors, and the risk of maltreatment was moderated by juvenile court involvement, special education eligibility, receipt of CPS family centered services, and the child's receipt of a mental health/substance abuse service in the community. Findings are discussed within a Risk-Need-Responsivity theory of service delivery (Andrews & Bonta, 2006), which links the empiricism of risk assessment with the clinical implementation of a preventive service delivery plan through the identified modifiable risk factors that drive the likelihood of recurrent maltreatment.

Download or read book Issues in Risk Assessment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific basis, inference assumptions, regulatory uses, and research needs in risk assessment are considered in this two-part volume. The first part, Use of Maximum Tolerated Dose in Animal Bioassays for Carcinogenicity, focuses on whether the maximum tolerated dose should continue to be used in carcinogenesis bioassays. The committee considers several options for modifying current bioassay procedures. The second part, Two-Stage Models of Carcinogenesis, stems from efforts to identify improved means of cancer risk assessment that have resulted in the development of a mathematical dose-response model based on a paradigm for the biologic phenomena thought to be associated with carcinogenesis.
