Coercive Intervention

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are released from prison every year. Drawing on interviews conducted in the mid-2010s in the context of the Multi-site Family Study on Parenting, Partnering and Incarceration, this article explores how the strains of prisoner re-entry interact with those of poverty and family life, and how these combined strains condition proactive engagement with the legal system among re-entering individuals and their intimate and co-parenting partners. We focus our analysis on problems, tensions and struggles for control in parenting and partnership, including inter-parental violence, as these often led to calls or actions that clearly allowed for coercive intervention by parole authorities, courts, child support enforcement, or child protective services. We identify the precise circumstances and motives that lay behind such requests or allowances, and explain how these related to the cynical regard in which former prisoners and their partners typically held the coercive apparatus of the state. Through bringing our empirical findings into an interplay with scholarship on the role of punishment in the governance of poverty under neoliberalism, we examine how the strains faced by former prisoners' households and the tactics they used to deal with them pertain to broader politico-economic arrangements.

State Surveillance

Foucault’s theory of state social control contrasts societal responses to leprosy, where deviants are exiled from society but promised freedom from social demands, and the plague, where deviants are controlled and surveyed within society but receive some state assistance in exchange for their cooperation.In this paper, I analyze how low-income fathers in the United States simultaneously experience social control consistent with leprosy and social control consistent with the plague but do not receive the social benefits that Foucault associates with either status.Through interviews with 57 low-income fathers, I investigate the role of state surveillance in their family lives through child support enforcement, the criminal justice system, and child protective services.Because they did not receive any benefits from compliance with this surveillance, they resisted it, primarily by dropping “off the radar.”Men justified their resistance in four ways: they had their own material needs, they did not want the child, they did not want to separate from their child’s mother or compliance was unnecessary.This resistance is consistent with Foucault’s distinction between leprosy and the plague.They believed that they did not receive the social benefits accorded to plague victims, so they attempted to be treated like lepers, excluded from social benefits but with no social demands or surveillance.

ABSTRACT This case is designed for use in a forensic accounting curriculum at the undergraduate or graduate level. The case contains no allegations of fraud. Rather, it illustrates the subset of forensic accounting referred to as litigation advisory services and is based upon an actual case that was investigated by the lead author working as a litigation support consultant. The case utilizes the problem-based learning approach wherein students are put in the role of the forensic accountant and must request additional information from the instructor. Students must first review a personal income tax return to develop a list of financial documents that would serve as a discovery request when assisting a family law attorney and his divorcing client. Using the information obtained from their requests, students must then prepare an income exhibit and an asset/liability exhibit that will support the client's need for a division of the marital estate, spousal maintenance, and child support. The process of using a completed income tax return to reconstruct the couple's asset and income profile not only mirrors the real-world engagement, but also complements and reinforces any prior courses in taxation. Student feedback on the case was extremely positive across all dimensions. Students reported having a better understanding of the role of a forensic accountant in the litigation process and enhanced abilities in analyzing a personal income tax return.

The Relationship

This article describes existing child support practice in the United States, giving attention to the establishment and enforcement of parental child support obligations as well as to publicly provided child support benefits. Effects of the current system on alleviating poverty are assessed. The article addresses several questions. Should low-income absent parents be excused from the obligation to support their children? Can child support provide more generous benefits to single-parent families while minimizing incentives for the formation of single-parent families? Should children in single-parent families be aided by a welfare program? What are the problems with the current child support system? Finally, a proposal for a new child support insurance system is described, along with estimates of the costs of the system and its effects on poverty and welfare dependence. The relationship of estimated benefits to costs is promising enough to warrant trying out the new system in selected jurisdictions.

Main Factor

Family for a preschool child is the first and main factor of socialization. As experience and research shows, the family is not always a positive factor in the socialization of children. Mistakes of parents contribute to the disruption of the process of socialization and the appearance of self-doubt in the child. In this article, we will talk about an insecure child. Based on the study of the literature, we have compiled a generalized portrait of an insecure child. The author considers the reasons of uncertain behavior of the child. They include lack of love; adults do not provide their child support in unusual circumstances.They name calling, ridicule the child. Parents use such methods of education as warning, cautions, threats, punishment. The uncertainty of the child covers in emotional, behavioral spheres, in consciousness. The inability to understand the child, the motives of his actions, to see the situation through his eyes, to look at himself from the outside – the most typical disadvantage of parents. The child begins to think that he is really bad, weak-willed, that he is a failure. The article presents the types of self-doubt. The author describes the results of a survey of parents about the methods used to raise children in the family. The author considers the way to solve the problem: interaction with parents of children in kindergarten. Recommendations on the topic have been developed for parents: How can we help your ‘’uncertain “child? The main thing is to form the parents positive attitude-the basis of psychological survival of the child. Every parent should know about the psychological development of the Children. Special attention is paid to the issue of the child's adaptation to kindergarten. The forms of providing psychological and pedagogical assistance to parents are described.

The Family

A legal obligation to provide financial support for another member of the family, often referred to as ‘family solidarity’ in civil law systems, may be seen as the most tangible recognition of the moral ties created by family relationships. This chapter begins with a brief review of the historical development of the law, including the role of the welfare state. It then considers mechanisms whereby family members can seek support from each other, namely through private agreements, court orders, and finally under the child support scheme.
