Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to provide an analysis of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA), a landmark piece of legislation recognizing the exclusive jurisdiction of Indian tribes over the welfare of their children. This study used primary and secondary data to examine the historical events preceding the Act, the legislative history and implementation of the Act. The major problems with ICWA are twofold; there is no federal administrative body authorized to oversee ICWA implementation and compliance and there is no comprehensive and uniform collection of Indian child welfare data to measure the impact of ICWA. David Gil's social policy framework was used to analyze ICWA. The study found that although ICWA has been implemented for over 30 years, the lack of administrative oversight and compliance has impeded ICWA's objectives to reduce the overrepresentation of Indian children in child welfare systems and to place Indian children in Indian homes.

Download or read book Children the Law and the Welfare Principle written by Kerry O'Halloran and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book continues the themes addressed by its two predecessors in this mini-series by examining the role of the principle of the welfare interests of the child in the law of the U.S. and Canada. It provides a record of the key milestones in its development in each country and conducts a comparative analysis of the contemporary law relating to children in both. In doing so, it focuses also on the Indigenous communities – the AN/AI and the First Nations – of the U.S. and Canada respectively. By identifying and analysing the functions of the principle in the public (care, protection and control, etc), private (matrimonial, adoption, etc) and hybrid (adoption from care, surrogacy, etc) sectors of family law, it builds a picture of the law relating to children in the two countries and reveals significant jurisdictional differences. By examining the legislation and related caselaw, it assesses the different effects of the same legal framework on the welfare of Indigenous and other children. In addition to a digest of cases and legislation that identifies and tracks the role of this legal principle, lawyers, academics and other researchers will find a wealth of information on how it has evolved to reflect corresponding changes in social mores. For those interested in politics and social policy, there is much illuminating evidence of how the law has balanced this principle relative to others in both civil and criminal contexts.

This book was released on 2020-11-27 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines existing research documenting racial disproportionality and disparities in child welfare systems, the underlying factors that contribute to these phenomena and the harms that result at both the individual and community levels. It reviews multiple forms of interventions designed to prevent and reduce disproportionality, particularly in states and jurisdictions that have seen meaningful change. With contributions from authorities and leaders in the field, this volume serves as the authoritative volume on the complex issue of child maltreatment and child welfare. It offers a central source of information for students and practitioners who are seeking understanding on how structural and institutional racism can be addressed in public systems.
