Opis

Despite efforts to create, revise, reform, and establish an effective child welfare system in the United States, the system continues to fail to ensure the safety and well-being of maltreated children. Out of Harm's Way presents four specific changes that would lead to a more effective system; and unlike many other studies of this system, the changes recommended here are affordable, scalable, and proven.

Recenzje

Finally, a hard-nosed, no-ideological-agenda dissection of our child protection system, by an expert with deep knowledge and sophisticated understanding of the politics and laws that shape the system. Richard Gelles reveals the weak links in the chain of responsibility for children's welfare that breaks apart far too often, and he advances new, effective, and politically realistic solutions. With this book, a new conversation begins. James G. Dwyer, PhD, JD, Arthur B. Hanson Professor of Law, William & Mary School of Law
