Why Didn't The Dogs Bark?, Roger A. Lohmann, Shirley Stewart Burns
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
This study examines patterns of news coverage of five West Virginia mining disasters in local, regional and national news media. It grew out of an effort to follow up an earlier study of relief efforts at the Monongah mine disaster of 1907. One of the principal findings is that local newspapers consistently provided limited coverage of mining disasters and almost no coverage of relief efforts carried on in the wake of disasters. National coverage, by the New York Times and regional coverage by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reveals a number of persistent themes and some important differences.

Stigmatized And Perpetual Parents: Older Parents Caring For Adult Children With Life-Long Disabilities, Nancy P. Kropf, Timothy B. Kelly
Stigmatized And Perpetual Parents: Older Parents Caring For Adult Children With Life-Long Disabilities, Nancy P. Kropf, Timothy B. Kelly
SW Publications
Common misconceptions in the popular press focus on the dependency of the aged population, or cast the elderly in the role of the "greedy old geezer." However, large numbers of elders provide care for family members rather than receive care. This paper explores the unique stresses and strains in the caregiving relationships between older parents and their adult children with developmental disabilities or mental illness. Implications for practice and policy are drawn.
Diversity Management: An Administrative Case Study In A Tax-Exempt Human Service Organization, Jerry L. Johnson
Diversity Management: An Administrative Case Study In A Tax-Exempt Human Service Organization, Jerry L. Johnson
Masters Theses
Diversity management is a business strategy that is intended to create an organizational climate where people from diverse backgrounds can succeed based on their work performance and not their personal similarities or differences with the organization's leadership. Diversity management programs are intended to help business remove barriers resulting from discrimination.; The present study investigated the need for a diversity management program in a tax-exempt human service organization. The perceptions and attitudes of organization employees, measured by survey instruments, in conjunction with an employee compensation study, provided the data for this investigation.; The instrument designed for this study and the random …

A Comparison Of Protective Service Workers' Perceptions Of Ritual And Sexual Abuse In Children: An Exploratory Study, Cathleen A. Lewandowski
A Comparison Of Protective Service Workers' Perceptions Of Ritual And Sexual Abuse In Children: An Exploratory Study, Cathleen A. Lewandowski
Social Work Faculty Publications
This article compares protective service workers' perceptions of sexual abuse to their percepons of ritual abuse. Perceptual elements examined include the type of problem the abuse is for victims, difficulties encountered when investigating an allegation, treatment and assessment resources available in their communities, and a comparison of their definitions of sexual and ritual abuse. The professional community has not reached a consensus on the ritual abuse controversy. Perceptions found in the literature range from the presentation of ritual abuse as a serious social problem that is distinctly different from sexual abuse to a consideration of the ritual abuse phenomenon as …

Research outputs pre 2011
A Children's Services Human. Resource Management is based on the policies and procedures that define the staffing requirements for the effective operation of the children's service. The total process of staffing, from advertisement to employment, is based upon the specific criteria that is determined for the particular position required. Thus, the entire process is designed to provide the children's service with the best information necessary to select the most appropriate person for each staff position in the team.
Consequently, well defined inclusive personnel policies and procedures enable each member of staff to understand the duties, skills, knowledge and responsibilities of …
Life Expectancy: Social Work With Centenarians, Nancy P. Kropf, Katherine L. Pugh
Life Expectancy: Social Work With Centenarians, Nancy P. Kropf, Katherine L. Pugh
SW Publications
Although the older population as a whole is increasing faster than any other age group, the most dramatic growth is in the oldest old. Centenarians, those individuals who have survived 100 or more years, have increased ten times in size over the past forty years. This population trajectory is expected to accelerate even more into the next century. Unfomately, social work with the older population rarely includes practice issues related to work with these older adults who have survived well past the average lie expectancy. This article provides a description of the current cohort of centenarians from a biopsychosocial framework …

Problems And Prospects In Society's Response To Abuse And Neglect, John R. Schuerman, Julia H. Littell
Problems And Prospects In Society's Response To Abuse And Neglect, John R. Schuerman, Julia H. Littell
Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research Faculty Research and Scholarship
This paper presents an analysis of the current situation in child welfare–the explosion of foster care caseloads, the proliferation of family preservation programs, and the principles underlying these approaches–and suggests new ways of thinking about reform of the child welfare system.
We begin with a review of the increase in out-of-home care. We then tum to an analysis of the three basic principles underlying the current child welfare system: permanency, least restrictive alternative, and reasonable efforts. We devote a major part of the paper to the family preservation programs that embody these principles. We describe what we perceive to be …

A Synthesis Of Research On Family Preservation And Family Reunification Programs, Julia H. Littell, John R. Schuerman
Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research Faculty Research and Scholarship
How effective are current efforts to preserve and reunify families in child welfare? In this paper we review research on programs aimed at preventing out-of-home placement of children, broader family preservation programs, and programs designed to reunify families with children in foster care.1 We examine what is known about the outcomes of these programs, relationships between service characteristics and outcomes, and the response of subgroups of clients to services.
Claims that family preservation programs result in substantial reductions in the placement of children are based largely on non-experimental studies. Such studies do not provide solid evidence of program effects. Evidence …
