Family Functioning And Migration: Considerations For Practice, Amith Ben-David
Family Functioning And Migration: Considerations For Practice, Amith Ben-David
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
International migration is increasingly dominated by family considerations. Despite conflicts and tensions, the support system of the family is the main agent through which the adjustment to migration occurs. Social workers are in the front line in the treatment and acculturation of new immigrants. The present study explores how 145 social workers, comprising about 70% of those who treat new immigrants in the northern part of Israel, perceive family functioning in two very different migrant populations: arrivalsf rom the former Soviet Union on the one hand, andf rom Ethiopia on the other. Results indicate that practitioners viewed families from the …

Attention Deficit Disorder And Case Management: Infusing Macro Social Work Practice, Dennis D. Long
Attention Deficit Disorder And Case Management: Infusing Macro Social Work Practice, Dennis D. Long
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Intervention with children with attention deficit disorders is complex and requires change at multiple system levels using a social work perspective. Case management, macro social work practice, time allocation issues, the structure of a professional self, constraints in expanding a narrow definition of the social worker, and specific macro level intervention areas for social workers are examined in this context.

Family Correlates Of Delinquency: Cohesion And Adaptability, Glenn Shields, Richard D. Clark
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The Circumplex Model of family functioning, which includes measures of cohesion and adaptability, was used with a community-based sample of youth (N = 480) to test its usefulness for explaining delinquent behavior. Results from the research indicate that the Circumplex Model is inadequate for explaining delinquency. It was concluded that the two major components of the model, cohesion and adaptability, do not operate in the curvilinear fashion as hypothesized. Rather, the results suggest the both factors are linear in their relationship with delinquency.
Second-Order Victim-Blaming, Paula L. Dressel, Vincent Carter, Anand Balachandran
Second-Order Victim-Blaming, Paula L. Dressel, Vincent Carter, Anand Balachandran
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Second-order victim-blaming emerges within a host of rationales given when designated solutions to first-order social problems do not produce the desired results. In certain cases second-order victim-blaming is built upon first-order victim blaming. This article develops a typology of second-order victim blaming based on the nature of problems forthcoming from failed social interventions. It then explores the implications of the phenomenon for those upon whom the blame falls, for other actors in intervention systems, and for social policy and programs more generally. It concludes with a tentative model of the sociopolitical implications of accumulated institutionalized victim-blaming, including the extremes of …

Feminization Of The Aids Epidemic, Mark S. Kaplan
Feminization Of The Aids Epidemic, Mark S. Kaplan
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Although males still constitute a substantial number of persons with AIDS, it is becoming clear that this is a disease affecting women and minority populations more adversely. Today women, while representing approximately 16 percent of all AIDS cases nationwide that are reported to the Centers for Disease Control, make up the fastest-growing segment of the population with AIDS. This article contends that AIDS is increasingly afflicting women who have little economic, political, or social power. Furthermore, misdirected public policy has been partly responsible for the greater incidence of the disease in certain regions and populations.

Life Stories: A Practice-Based Research Technique, Rena D. Harold, Margaret L. Palmiter, Susan A. Lynch, Carol R. Freedman-Doan
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Social work, like many other practice-based professions, has historically been concerned about the discontinuity between practice and research. This discontinuity is frequently reduced to a debate between qualitative and quantitative methodology, placing the profession in a dilemma and further alienating practitioners. This article describes a qualitative data collection and analysis process as it was in a large-scale study exploring issues of family development. The use of open-ended story telling and ethnographic content analysis are recommended for use in practice and in practice-based research. Adoption practice and chemical dependency settings are presented as examples.
The Ideological Context Of Changing Juvenile Justice, Preston Elrod, Daryl Kelley
The Ideological Context Of Changing Juvenile Justice, Preston Elrod, Daryl Kelley
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The ideological nature of juvenile justice policy is analyzed, including the domain assumptions of the predominant juvenile justice ideologies which presently inform juvenile justice policy development. Further, it is argued that the failure of present juvenile justice policies to effectively respond to the juvenile "crime problem" may lead to the opportunity to develop a more critically informed juvenile justice policy, one which is better able to meet the needs of clients and respond more effectively to juvenile crime. Finally, some of the essential elements of a critical juvenile justice ideology and practice capable of more realistically and humanely responding to …
Protecting Women's Jobs: Unions And Deindustrialization, Marietta Morrissey
Protecting Women's Jobs: Unions And Deindustrialization, Marietta Morrissey
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper explores the impact of union membership on a group of unskilled women workers at a public university in a midwestern city. Although the region has experienced high levels of unemployment in recent years, women subjects have been relatively insulated from job loss. Consistent with other research findings on the consequences of unionization, interviews with 18 women indicate that their job tenure is long, tendency to exit jobs low, and wages and benefits relatively good. African-American and white women have slightly different employment histories, however, reflecting patterns of discrimination and occupational segregation in the work place. Regional economic change …

Responses To Aging In Great Britain: The Black Experience, Wynetta Devore
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
Ethnic minority persons who migrated to Britain from the Caribbean and Asia in response to the call for workers are now elderly. British social workers have not responded well to their needs.

Also examined are anti-racist, ethnic-sensitive education and practice models developed by faculty and practitioners.
