The issue of racial disproportionality in the child welfare
system, particularly as it impacts African-American children and
families, has long been a concern to practitioners and
policymakers. However, disproportionality is not limited to the
African-American community. Latino, Native-American,
Asian-American, and Pacific Islander populations experience
inequities in treatment. From leading voices on
culturally-competent care comes a cutting-edge book that examines
disproportionalities across all of these racial and ethnic
groups.
"Eliminating Racial Disproportionality and Disparities"
examines a wide range of systems that often affect and interact
with child welfare. Chapters are devoted to the juvenile justice
system, mental health, the courts, education, and healthcare,
making it the only book to offer a multisystemic approach to
disparities and disproportionality. Filled with in-depth case
studies, key terms, study questions, and resources, and written to
reflect CSWE-mandated competencies, this expansive book gives
students, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and
administrators new knowledge for providing culturally competent
services while simultaneously addressing disproportionality across
various systems of care.
