In this article, we review the ethical and legal dilemmas regarding the admission of convicted felons and study the practices used by American schools of social work. An important finding is that schools that are proactively engaged in asking for and processing felony conviction information are also more ethically engaged.

Addresses the rights of children in areas of juvenile justice, child welfare, & mental health, since these areas constitute a large proportion of the juvenile court's business. In mental health cases, children have few, if any, rights. Yet, they are often subjected to abuse & constraints that would constitute major civil rights violations if they were adults. In child welfare, children have some basic rights, but they are often dependent on the virtually unbridled discretion of child welfare & other administrative officials. More often than not, the juvenile court plays a perfunctory role in the process & merely rubber-stamps recommendations made by child welfare personnel. Discussion focuses on implications of these issues & how they should be considered in the future. 34 References. Adapted from the source document.

In: Foundations of human behavior
Child Abuse and Neglect is the third volume sponsored by the Social Science Research Council. The goals of these volumes include the development of a biosocial perspective and its application to the interface between biological and social phenomena in order to advance the understanding of human behavior. Child Abuse and Neglect applies the biosocial perspective to child maltreatment and maladaptation in parent-child relations. The biosocial perspective is particularly appropriate for investigating parent behavior since the family is the universal social institution in which children are born and reared, in which cultural traditions and values are transmitted, and in which individuals fulfill their biological potential for reproduction, growth, and development. The volume examines biological substrates and social and environmental contexts as determinants of parent behavior. By identifying areas in which contemporary human parent behaviors conform with and depart from evolutionary and historical patterns and assessing the overall costs and benefits, it permits their objective assessment in terms of modern circumstances. In analyzing evolutionary and historical variations in parent behavior and assessing their costs and benefits, the book makes possible an objective assessment of contemporary variations. Its analysis of the occurrence of child abuse in past history and in other cultures and species advances our ability to predict the probability of child abuse and neglect in various social and ecological contexts.
