Poor Relations: The Children of the State in Illinois, 1818-1990 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

       This comprehensive history traces the care of dependent, delinquent,
        and disabled children in Illinois from the early nineteenth century to
        current times, focusing on the dilemmas raised by both public intervention
        and the lack of it. Joan Gittens explores the inadequacies of a system
        that has allowed problems in the public care of children to recur regularly
        but at the same time insists that the state's own history makes it clear
        that the potential for improvements exists.
