The New Left And The Human Service Professions, Robert J. S. Ross
The New Left And The Human Service Professions, Robert J. S. Ross
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
There are three characteristics of the New Left which had impact on social and human service professionals. Egalitarianism produced distrustof orthodox professional detachment from and power over poor and minority persons. The movement also gave expression to guilt, for some, over their "privileged" backgrounds. The New Left's decentralist views about power produced an orientation to local insurgency: the organization of neighborhood and community activist organizations. In combination, for those influenced by the movement and entering the professions, a characteristic type of new professionalism arose: advocacy for the interests and organizations of the oppressed. Illustrations of this process are found in …
Ryan Revisited: Updating The Prevalence Of Bastards, Hudson R. A. Rosen, Lois J. Martindale
Ryan Revisited: Updating The Prevalence Of Bastards, Hudson R. A. Rosen, Lois J. Martindale
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Ryan, in Blaming the Victim, discusses welfare mothers in terms of an ideology of illegitimacy, and its impact on welfare policies. He then refuted the ideology. Since then several conditions have changed. This paper assesses how those changes may have affected Ryan's conclusions, and whether AFDC recipients most likely to fit the ideology differ from other unmarried, pregnant women. Hypotheses: AFDC and non-AFDC recipients will not differ significantly in (1) "promiscuity;" (2) contraceptive usage; (3) number of children being raised; and (4) solution to their problem pregnancy. The sample was 424 AFDC and 741 non-AFDC pregnant, unmarried women. While some …
Social Welfare And Danish Communes: An International Case Study, Thomas H. Shey
Social Welfare And Danish Communes: An International Case Study, Thomas H. Shey
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The implementation of public assistance and related forms of social insurance, based on existing social welfare legislation, often discriminates against new and emerging social institutions such as collective families residing in a communal situation. A recent case study of the Danish experience has shown that, while members of such communes are in fact discriminated against by the authorities (as a communal entity), the system has simultaneously proven flexible enough to accomodate the majority of "problem cases" on an individual basis and in the process served to minimize potential social unrest and dislocation. Unlike their American counterpart, research has verified that …
Ex Post Facto Evaluation Of Neighborhood Organization Programs, Shimon E. Spiro
Ex Post Facto Evaluation Of Neighborhood Organization Programs, Shimon E. Spiro
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Quasi-experimental designs, which are currently dominant in the methodological literature on Evaluative Research, are mostly not appropriate for the evaluation of Planned Change in the social organization of urban neighborhoods. In this paper we propose an alternative approach, based on ex-post-facto case studies. Criteria for evaluation, as well as study design and instruments, are discussed in some detail. A concise summary of one local evaluative study is presented as an illustration.
The Prestige And Effectiveness Of The Public Welfare Worker, Richard M. Grinnell Jr., Nancy S. Kyte
The Prestige And Effectiveness Of The Public Welfare Worker, Richard M. Grinnell Jr., Nancy S. Kyte
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
An empirically-based study was conducted to determine how BSW and MSW social work students differentially assess the relative prestige and effectiveness of public welfare work in relation to the fifteen other social work methods and to ascertain what methods they would ideally like to enter upon graduation from their programs. The study findings point dramatically to a wide discrepancy between the BSW and MSW student's view of the public welfare worker. Not only was the average prestige and effectiveness of welfare work rated significantly higher by the BSW students, but more than five times as many BSW as MSW students …
Three Strategies For Reducing Involuntary Segregation, Juliet Saltman
Three Strategies For Reducing Involuntary Segregation, Juliet Saltman
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The involuntary aspects of residential segregation in this country are examined, a conceptual model of involuntary segregation is presented, and four causative factors of involuntary segregation are noted. These four factors are the targets of three recent corrective strategies which have been used in an attempt to reduce involuntary segregation. The three strategies -- fair-share plans, exclusionary zoning lawsuits, and community housing audits -- are reviewed and analyzed in terms of their potential success in reducing involuntary segregation. Though no single strategy would be sufficient, all three strategies in combination may ultimately achieve a reduction of involuntary segregation in our …

A Cohort Analysis Of Juvenile Probationers From The Kalamazoo County Juvenile Court, 1971, Karl B. Kucab
A Cohort Analysis Of Juvenile Probationers From The Kalamazoo County Juvenile Court, 1971, Karl B. Kucab
Masters Theses
Data on 171 juveniles placed on probation in 1971 was compiled and analyzed. Thirteen independent and six dependent variables were tested bivariately and multivariately. The recidivism rate for the cohort was also determined.
This was the first analysis of the court's probation service. It served to supply the court with three "measures" of recidivism, a "Delinquency Seriousness Index," and an adult follow-up of the cohort.
Results showed an effectiveness rate of 60.25%. In addition, 13 of the 78 hypotheses advanced were accepted and four significant predictor models were constructed. "Early age at onset" of delinquency, a familiar predictor of recidivism, …

A Disarmed World: Problems In Imaging The Future, Elise Boulding
A Disarmed World: Problems In Imaging The Future, Elise Boulding
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
One of the major handicaps to scholars, activists and would-be policy makers associated with the post-World War II peace research and peace action movements has been the inability to construct coherent and believable images of a post military industrial United States society. Even at the height of the economics of disarmament studies in the 1960s the most that economists could demonstrate was that disarmament could take place without severe economic dislocations, and that resources released from arms could be used for improving the global standard of living. The new peace research movement was also producing books in the sixties showing …
