Comparing the effects of judicial versus child protective service relationships on parental attitudes in the juvenile dependency process
Article Abstract:
Parents were interviewed in the child dependency process to judge their perception of the juvenile court process in family drug courts (FDCs) versus traditional child protective service (CPS) relationships. Substance abusing parents in the child dependency process perceived judges in therapeutic courts as being more fair and trustworthy than CPS workers, which could have important implications for social work practice and research.
