Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fathers hold key roles in the lives of their children. Children who grow up with fathers in the home tend to remain in school, participate less in delinquent behavior, and have good emotional development. However, federal policies, such as the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Act (1935) and child support legislation before 1996, have indirectly (and perhaps unintentionally) led to a decrease of fathers in the home. Recently, the federal government created the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (1996) to reform these programs. From this policy, programs such as the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program and strengthened child support provisions were created to reverse the indirect effects caused by the aforementioned policies and promote two-parent family structures. Also, multiple states have adopted policies to help promote responsible fatherhood and two-parent families. In this paper, I study the key provisions and positive/negative outcomes of these policies and programs to show how they affected fatherhood either negatively or positively in America. I argue that the former policies (AFDC and child support pre-1996) indirectly affected the increase in absent father families on welfare. I show that TANF and post-1996 child support legislation does not do much to reverse the indirect effects or promote two-parent structured families. Finally, I analyze three state programs from Texas, Connecticut, and Illinois and show, overall, that state programs promote responsible fatherhood and two-parent family structures better than the analyzed federal programs.

Download or read book Social Policy and Public Policy written by Lee Rainwater and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic volume was originally designed as an introduction to social science perspectives on a broad range of social issues in American society, specifi cally the complex social problems of the 1960s. Because the volume is structured as a survey, it is neither exhaustive or defi nitive. It does provide a wide range of information about these problems, as well as the many diff erent policy initiatives that were developed to cope with them. Readers can learn a great deal about the common themes, predilections and quandaries that characterized United States responses to the complex problems of the 1960s and the patterns of inequality and injustice prevalent at that time. The essays were selected to cover the range of substantive problematic issues of the period, the social science perspectives that were brought to bear on them, and the range of social science methodologies used. Finally, the selections emphasize the contributions that can be made to understanding social problems by intensive and rigorous social science research. Journalists and popular writers use a common sense approach to their study of social problems, and the results are often imaginative and incisive. Th e tools of social scientists produce information and analyses that contribute far more to our understanding than even the most insightful journalist can achieve. Th e selections in this volume highlight the deeper and more fundamental understanding of social issues that can come from rigorous analysis of government statistics, and from special sample surveys, from in-depth ethnographic studies. "Lee Rainwater" is professor emeritus of sociology at Harvard University. He was one of the original founders of Transaction Publishers. He has written books and articles in many professional journals.
