Margaretha Järvinen: The meeting between clients and the system: on research in social work This article is based on the inaugural lecture by the first professor of social work in Denmark. Although coming later than in many other countries, the professorship symbolizes the fact that the field of social work is about to develop into a scientific field of research. The article focuses on social work as a meeting between clients and social welfare institutions. Although it has become popular to describe citizens who come into contact with social welfare institutions as “comsumers” or “users”, this article argues for retention of the idea of client, since these are people with limited freedom of action. Social workers are described as representatives of the welfare state, not as representatives of, or advocates for clients, as they sometimes describe themselves. The article discusses three aspects of the meeting between the client and the system, and is inspired by the work of Pierre Bourdieu. The first is how the system creates the client. Social work is constructed as a field in which clients and their problems are constructed in accordance with the system and its doxa, rather than the other way around. The second aspect is the janus face of help. The article questions the idea that social workers “help” their clients. The traditional helping relation between social workers and their clients is described as a relationship of symbolic power that tends to underline rather than relieve the client’s ‘otherness’. Finally, the article discusses Bourdieu’s concept of practical reason. The field of social work represents rituals, routines and rationalities that may be difficult to put into a neat scientific formula. It argues though, that this concept should not be used (as some social workers have done) as a bulwark against scientific inquiries into the doxa and symbolic power mechanisms of the field.

The Relationship

This study examined social workers’ perceptions of the New York State law requiring the reporting of child maltreatment and the relationship of those perceptions with the likelihood that workers would report incidents of maltreatment to child protective services. Data were collected by a mailed questionnaire from a sample of 710 social workers belonging to the New York City chapter of NASW. Findings show that social workers differ in their understanding of the law and that the worker’s understanding is related to reporting behavior. The worker’s understanding of the law had a small but significant effect on the likelihood of reporting, accounting for 6% of the variance. The binomial effect size of the relationship (r = .24) is such that a worker’s understanding of the law is sufficient to increase the likelihood of reporting a case of maltreatment from 38% to 62%. Implications for practice are discussed.

Do So

The paper is concerned with the relationship of taxation to conceptions of the state and the community. The paper contends that public finance theorists have focused little attention on what, precisely, the state is and the role of subnational and supranational communities, even though understanding the state and these communities is essential for grasping how tax revenues are really distributed. The failure of public finance to do so is explainable by the powerful faith in the expertise of theorists and bureaucrats and abstract models for social welfare, whether or not they work or would be agreed upon and implemented via the political process.

Penelitian sebelumnya menyebutkan bahwa anak jalanan memiliki harga diri yang rendah dan identik dengan pola asuh uninvolved. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif korelatif yang bertujuan mengidentifikasi hubungan pola asuh orangtua dan harga diri anak jalanan usia remaja. Penelitian ini dilakukan di daerah binaan rumah singgah di Jakarta Timur dengan 98 sampel, diambil menggunakan metode consecutive sampling. Harga diri diukur dengan menggunakan Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale dan pola asuh diukur dengan Instrumen Pola Asuh Mashoedi yang dikembangkan dari teori pola asuh orangtua milik Diana Baumrind. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara pola asuh orangtua dengan tingkat harga diri anak jalanan usia remaja di Jakarta Timur (p= 0,04). Untuk menangani masalah anak jalanan, diperlukan kerjasama dari pemerintah, perawat komunitas, pekerja sosial dan pihak rumah singgah untuk bersama-sama melakukan pemberdayaan anak jalanan berbasis keluarga dalam upaya merehabilitasi anak jalanan. Kata kunci: anak jalanan, harga diri, pola asuh orangtua, remaja Abstract  Relationship of Parenting Style and Self-Esteem of Street Children the Teen Years.
