Description

Examining the interaction between families and professionals in the child welfare system of New York, this book focuses on how inequalities are reproduced, measured, managed, and contested.

The book describes how state institutions and neoliberal governance police the groups which are most represented in the child welfare system, including low income, female-headed families living in racialized neighborhoods.

The book also shows how these forms of policing produce unstable terrains, and give rise to contestation among families, communities, and professionals.

It questions and re-thinks how state welfare and protection is administered.
