    Rehabilitating Child Welfare: Children and Public Policy, 1945-1980 Ethan G. Sribnick Silver Spring, Maryland B.A., University of Chicago, 1998 M.A., University of Virginia, 2001 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May2007 © Copyright by Ethan G. Sribnick All Rights Reserved May 2007 111 Abstract In the period afterWorld War II, a network of activists attempted to reformthe programs that supported and assisted delinquent, dependent, neglected, abused and abandoned children and their familiesin the United States. This dissertation examines their effortsto reshape child welfare arguing that it was motivated by the "rehabilitative ideal," a belief that the state was ultimately responsible forthe physical and emotional development of every child and a faithin therapeutic services as a way of providing for children and their families. This argument contributes to our understanding of the rise of a therapeutic state, placing this notion within a particular historical period and within the narrative of the changing nature of American liberalism. The rehabilitative ideal and the child welfare network emerged out of a confluence of trends within American liberalism, social welfare agencies, and social work approaches in the period after 1945. This study provides detailed examination of this phenomenon through the lives of Justine Wise Polier, Joseph H. Reid, and Alfred J. Kahn, and the histories of the Citizens' Committee forChildren of New York, the Child Welfare League of America, and the Columbia University School of Social Work. Investigations of the developments in juvenile justice, fostercare and adoption, child protection, and federalassistance to child welfareservices over the 1950s and 1960s demonstrate how the rehabilitative approach shaped child welfare reform.

  • Honoring Our Own the WWII Veteran Judges of the Eastern District of New York
    Honoring Our Own The WWII Veteran Judges of the Eastern District of New York On Dec. 5, 2012, the Eastern District of New York Chapter of the Federal Bar Association held a program at the American Airpower Museum to honor the district’s distinguished World War II veteran judges. It has often been said that the World War II brothers-in-arms are members of the “greatest generation.” Assuredly, it is not an overstatement to say that our World War II veteran judges and their brothers-in-arms walk among the greatest men of any generation. Each of the honorees are briefly biographied in the pages that fol- low, describing how service to our country has affected their lives and careers. Hon. I. Leo Glasser Born in New York City in 1924, Judge Glasser graduated from the City College of New York in 1943 and then served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II. During the war, Judge Glasser served as a U.S. Army infantry technician landing in Europe a few weeks after D-Day at the small French town of St. Mere Eglise. His unit pushed east, eventu- ally crossing into Germany in Spring 1945. The horror of battle was constant. Judge Glasser was wounded while moving ammunition crates and was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery during his service in the European theater. In an article published by Newsday, May 27, 2012, Judge Glasser was quoted as saying: “I hope there will come a day when we have no more war and the lion will lie down with the lamb and we can have universal peace.” Upon returning from the war, Judge Glasser obtained a law degree magna cum laude from Brooklyn Law School in 1948, and then immediately began teaching at Brooklyn Law School.

  • New York Family Court: Court User Perspectives
    New York Family Court Court User Perspectives Julia Vitullo-Martin Brian Maxey January 2000 12 This project was supported by a grant administered by the New York Community Trust. Points of view in this document are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the New York Community Trust. Preface New Yorkers demand a lot from the city’s Family Court. First established 37 years ago as an experimental court to oversee all family problems in one location, Family Court has jurisdiction over the immensely complex issues of custody and visitation, paternity, family violence, child support, abuse and neglect, foster care, and most delinquency matters. Today Family Court’s caseload is high, its physical plant deteriorating, and its resources strained. The court is looking both within and without for analysis of current problems and directions for the future. This report, funded by the New York Community Trust and prepared by the Vera Institute, is one step in the court's analysis. It examines the data from the first-ever systematic survey of Family Court users: both professional users (such as lawyers and caseworkers) and nonprofessional users (family members, teachers, and neighbors of the children and adults who depend on the court). The findings are straightforward, encompassing both unanticipated praise in some areas and distress in others. Most civilian users have something good to say about Family Court—particularly about the court officers, who are often credited with being the best part of the system. Yet the problems are many, ranging from difficulties navigating the court physically to the burdens of the court’s rigid calendar.
