Class Orientations to Child Neglect
Polansky, Norman A.; Williams, David P.
Social Work, 23, 3, 397-401, Sep 78
This study questions whether social workers reflect a middle-class bias in establishing the standards by which they judge child neglect. Results suggest that a surprising unity of opinion exists among social workers, working-class mothers, and middle-class mothers in defining adequate child care. (Author)
