Reviews
"Gainsborough's book deserves to be a classic text because it sheds light on an under-studied area of social policy. It provides a detailed account of the political realities about how child welfare policies are formed and outlines strategies for ensuring greater accountability of these processes to vulnerable children and their families. I recommend this work to anyone interested in the politics of social policy production and to anyone who wants to make a constructive difference to the lives of vulnerable children and their families." -- Karen Healy , Australian Review of Public Affairs, Juliet Gainsborough successfully applies an analytical lens to the heavily value-laden domain of policymaking for abused and neglected children. . . . The author effectively provides the detail, nuance, and complexity of the relationship between child welfare scandals and the politics of policymaking., Thorough exploration of an understudied, but theoretically and substantively important, area of state and federal policy. . . . The greatest contribution of the book is the way she deftly weaves her quantitative analysis with her qualitative case studies so that is is complementary rather than competitive., Gainsborough's book deserves to be a classic text because it sheds light on an under-studied area of social policy . . . I recommend this work to anyone interested in the politics of social policy production and to anyone who wants to make a constructive difference to the lives of vulnerable children and their families.

    I have cited it for at least 7 papers, finally decided to buy a copy

    Brilliant analysis of the political impact on child welfare. Brilliant breakdown of policy and social/cultural shifts over the last century. Good for caseworkers, academic coursework, good for every American, frankly.
