Big Daddy government is out of date
Article Abstract:
Many people use to believe that they could rely on the government, in the form of the welfare state, to support them throughout their lives. However, new views on the role of government are now emerging. In Europe, debate over the future of the welfare state is based almost exclusively on financial considerations, but in the US there is a move towards a conservative/libertarian view. It is now only a matter of time before power is devolved from Washington towards the states and localities.

When Daddy's doing time ...
Article Abstract:
Prisoners who have to serve a long sentence often feel very angry about being cut off from normal family life. They feel that they lose direct contact with their children and that they are unable to help with everyday problems. Other family members have to deal with the financial and emotional issues which would otherwise be the prisoner's responsibility, and in some cases marriages can break up as a result of the strain.

Daddy doesn't live here any more ...
Article Abstract:
Families facing separation or divorce can often find that there is very little information or support available to them. It is particularly important to support parents in helping their children to come to terms with changed family circumstances. Research indicates that even very young children can be deeply affected by a family splitting up, and it is vital to protect them and to answer their questions.
