This chapter provides a brief overview of the book highlighting the
modest progress from child welfare to child well-being re?ected in
these chapters, and the parallel movement in Kahn's career and
research, as his scholarship developed over the years. It then
moves to explore the relationship between two overarching themes,
child and family policy stressing a universal approach to children
and social prot- tion stressing a more targeted approach to
disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals including children and the
complementarity of these strategies. Introduction To a large extent
Alfred J. Kahn was at the forefront of the developments in the ?eld
of child welfare services (protective services, foster care,
adoption, and family preservationandsupport).
Overtimehisscholarshipmovedtoafocusonthebroader policy domain of
child and family policy and the outcomes for child wellbeing. His
work, as is true for this volume, progressed from a focus on poor,
disadvantaged and vulnerable children to a focus on all children.
He was convinced that children, by de?nition, are a vulnerable
population group and that targeting all children, empl- ing a
universal policy as a strategy would do more for poor children than
a narrowly focused policy targeted on poor children alone, As we
?rst argued more than three decades ago (Not for the Poor Alone;
"Universalism and Income Testing in Family Policy"), one could
target the most disadvantaged within a universal framework, and
this would lead to more successful results than targeting only the
poor.
