About the author

Jane Waldfogel is Professor of Social Work and Public Affairs at Columbia University.

Summary

The public is right to be concerned about child protective services, shows Waldfogel, but many perceptions of the CPS system and the problems it is designed to alleviate are inaccurate. This book goes beyond the headlines, using historical, comparative, and specific case data to formulate a new approach to protecting children.
