Professionals in child welfare and protection are often required to make decisions--fraught with many difficulties and shortcomings--that have crucial implications for children and families. There are many indications that these decisions are frequently unreliable and involve unavoidable errors in judgement due to the uncertainties. This book applies much-needed insights gleaned from the fields of business and behavioral economics to child welfare practice, bridging a critical gap in the child welfare and protection research agenda.

Recensioner i media

Nigel Parton, Journal of Social Work The book draws heavily on the psychology of decision-making research literature together with research on decision making in child welfare and protection and is intended for academic researchers and graduate students in social work, psychology, pedagogy and related disciplines such as behavioural economics.

This is a must have text for anyone contributing to child welfare policy, conducting child welfare research, administering a child welfare program, or serving vulnerable families caught in the child welfare system. All of the work presented is based on sound theory and empirical research methods and moves the area of child welfare decision-making to the next level.

The decision to intervene with families has enormous implications and yet, Fluke, Lpez Lpez, Benbenishty, Knorth, and Baumann bring the conversation about decision making and judgment in child welfare to new, heightened levels of analysis which have been missing from the professional literature. Using cutting-edge research on child welfare from a wide range of disciplines, this book delves into a dialogue about what constitutes best practices, while providing a context with current research studies and methodological frameworks in child welfare decision making. This is a volume that should be required reading for policy makers, child welfare professionals and scholars.
-Gerald P. Mallon, DSW, LCSW, Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, City University of New York



Child welfare and protection professionals make a myriad of decisions that have long-lasting and sometimes life-altering impacts on child, family and community well-being. Decision-Making and Judgment in Child Welfare and Protection is a must-read for those who make these critical decisions on a daily basis, and for those who educate the child welfare and protection workforce. By translating the science behind decision making in child welfare, this book creates an opportunity to advance the child welfare field and challenges professionals on how they partner with the family group as decision makers.
-Lisa Merkel-Holguin, MSW, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and National Center on Family Group Decision Making



This volume provides an overview of the latest scientific knowledge on decision-making and judgment in child welfare and protection by an international group of highly respected experts. The focus on transdisciplinary research, the integration of different theoretical frameworks, and the translation of key findings into guidelines for practice make it to an essential reading for academics, policymakers and practitioners all around the globe and a reference work for students and teachers.
