Liberals have instead promoted one ineffectual parent-focused program after another, in an ideologically-driven quest for the magic pill that can save both adults and children in these communities at the same time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis `insider critique’ of liberal child welfare policy reveals a dilemma that liberals have yet to face squarely: there is an ineradicable conflict of interests between many young children and their parents, especially in areas of concentrated poverty, and one must choose sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a must read for legal academics, political scientists, urban policy experts, as well as professionals working in social work, law, education, urban planning, legislative offices, and administrative agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542626427118,"sku":"9780815363279","price":72.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780815363279.jpg?v=1720130732","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/liberal-child-welfare-policy-and-its-destruction-of-black-lives","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
