Research suggests that placement in kinship care is directly linked to a decrease in the total number of displacement disruptions for children in the child welfare system. However, Hispanic children appear at a higher risk for non-kinship care placement. This book addresses such problems and policies on kinship care and barriers to implementation of child welfare policies with immigrant and mixed-status children. Child welfare is also closely related to parent-child connections. Thus, the parent-child connection is discussed as well as the authoritative/supportive parenting styles of the mother and father, which seem to protect adolescents against substance abuse. The rural-urban malnutrition rates of children living in up to 93 countries were examined and discussed. Political stability and how it affects the rural-urban malnutrition ratio, especially in democratic systems were also looked at. In addition, the human welfare system in North Korea was examined, for example, by looking at the heights of their children. Stature can be assumed to appropriately indicate child welfare issues in many situations. Other such advantages and disadvantage indicators are discussed in this book. Finally, the organisation of the delivery of social services to waiting children and the prospective adoptive families, which influence adoption creation are reviewed. Cross-section time-series estimates are supplemented with a new augmented fixed effects procedure to demonstrate that the use of contracts with private agencies bolsters adoption creation.

Published in 1999, Community Approaches to Child Welfare is written by both practitioners and academics to explore ways in which community-based, preventative approaches to child welfare can be used to support families experiencing behavioural problems with children or undergoing difficulties in raising them. Specific practice examples developed in Britain, Canada and Sweden provide an international dimension to this book. Comparing and contrasting developments within these countries reveal that there are both similarities in the methods adopted and difference in the ways in which these are applied. Common themes which appear across the stories that are presented include: the importance of ensuring cultural specificity to respond to identity issues and local traditions; the need to adhere to legislation that is country specific; the importance of dealing with some child welfare issues on an international basis, e.g. child abductions; and the importance of giving children the space within which to articulate their own 'voice.' Additionally, the book reveals how working with families from a community perspective which is centered in acknowledging children's rights and parental rights may challenge professionals in ways that they find uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the book concludes that practice can more effectively serve children's interests if parents and workers work in partnership with each other.

The Child Welfare System: Perspectives, Challenges and Future Directions opens with a description of the empirical results of a study on bird's nest parenting as a form of shared parenting. Bird's nest parenting ensures that children have both a stable home with the continuity of their prior lifestyle and the chance to live everyday life with both parents.Next, the authors report the findings of child protection workers' experiences with and perspectives on child engagement in the context of child protection assessment in Estonia. Child protective workers make difficult decisions that affect the everyday lives of children and their families, including removing children and dismantling families, and therefore careful and comprehensive assessment is one of the most significant challenges in the field. The closing chapter considers the connection between agency practices and environments on child outcomes such as length of time spent in foster care, placement changes, and child mental health.

Child care law and policy issues generate very strong emotions and some crucial questions concerning the role of the state. For instance, under what circumstances should the state be able to intervene and use the force of the law to protect children? Do children have similar rights to adults? Such questions are matters of controversial debate and, in the light of well publicised child abuse cases, official inquiries and a government review led to the passing of the Children Act in 1989. Perspectives in Child Care Policy presents four different value perspectives on child care policy - laissez-faire; state paternalism; defence of the birth family and children's rights. These perspectives differ in their underlying values, concepts and assumptions concerning children, families, the rights and powers of parents and the role of the state.

This book provides a good overview of the important and current ssues in child welfare today. --Emma Wolford in The Prevention Report "Nora S. Gustavson and Elizabeth A. Segal take an interdisciplinary approach to issues affecting young people in the USA. The result is a book packed with up-to-date research and statistics relating to the health, educational experience and prospects, violence suffered and perpetrated, homelessness, effects of HIV, and chemical exposure as they affect young people. I would certainly recommend this book to social workers and all professionals working with young people. However, I feel its ′user-friendly′ style and interdisciplinary approach make it attractive reading to a wider audience and hope that the rather prosaic title doesn′t put them off." --Rosemary Rae in British Journal of Social Work Nora S. Gustavsson and Elizabeth A. Segal provide a clear, concise overview of the mental, emotional, physical, and social condition of children in the United States and the current social concerns that threaten their well-being. Traditional child welfare topics such as foster care, adoption, abuse, and neglect are discussed, as are areas of increasing scope and significance including poverty among children, HIV and chemically exposed infants, and the rising number of single-parent households. The need to strengthen proactive child welfare programming and primary prevention is a key theme throughout the book, and serves as both an integrating and perspective-altering force. Human service professionals, professors, and advanced students will find the text an informative guide to sorting out the intricacies of child welfare policy as it exists today. "This book describes some of the most critical issues confronting child welfare. The perspective is balanced and includes elements of policy analysis and principles that students should know. This book will be a valuable resource." --Paula Allen-Meares, School of Social Work, University of Michigan "Nora S. Gustavsson and Elizabeth A. Segal provide a good overview of difficulties facing children in the 1990s. The authors combine information from disciplines such as education, medicine, child development, and economics in their analysis of the problems encountered by youngsters whose basic needs may not be met." --Choice

This collection focuses on child welfare in its specific sense: welfare and social interventions with children and young people undertaken by State bodies or NGO's. The term 'child welfare' is deployed differently in diverse international settings. In the United Kingdom child welfare tends to refer to individualised programmes for children who have experienced problems in their lives. In India, to take a contrasting example, it can also refer to major housing and nutrition programmes. This collection takes an inclusive approach to international perspectives.The collection is completed by a new general introduction by the editor, individual volume introductions, and a full index.Titles also available in this series include, Medical Sociology (November 2004, 4 Volumes, 495) and the forthcoming collection Health Care Systems (2005, 3 Volumes, c.395).
