  • Vulnerable Children, Vulnerable Families: The Social Construction of Child Abuse
    Based on a study conducted in an intervention program for parents of maltreated children, this book examines the well intended but often ineffective efforts of the child welfare system to prevent maltreatment, as illustrated by the experiences of three parents targeted by the state’s child protection agency, and urges more far-reaching policy change to coordinate earlier and more diverse kinds of support for children and families.
  • Why the Need for the Indian Child Welfare Act?
    Explores two historical periods that preceded the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978: the boarding and mission school era (1880s-1950s) and the Indian adoption era (1950s-70s). The assimilationist social welfare policy of those two eras led to the eventual need for special legislation that protects tribal self-determination, heritage, and family preservation.
