Book Description
Excerpt from Social Administration Including the Poor Laws IT is a good thing for the student, the teacher, or the thinker, whatever the subject, to recognize its highest ideal to approach it with a fullness of purpose, and with the hope that the time devoted to the furtherance of knowledge, from whatever stand point, may be spent to the advantage of the individual, and to the betterment of his fellow man. There is no topic before the public which has received so much attention as that of the Poor Laws, and there is no subject which deserves to be, and should be, more carefully studied by the average citizen. Yet, it may be asked, to what extent does the knowledge of the man in the street extend beyond the fact that he pays either directly, or through his landlord, a yearly sum for the maintenance of his poorer brethren For what purpose, exactly, this money goes he does not know, neither has he the disposition to inquire until the awakening comes, when, through an occasional scandal, he recognizes that in him, at any rate, the State and the parish has lost the citizen who, by his wilful blindness, has done much to aid and abet a corrupt and unscrupulous management. To such, and there are many, this work will be directed, in the hope that at its completion the dormant interests may have been revived to renewed activity, and that those who may have perused its pages will have received an impetus to inquire further into one of the most pressing social problems of the present, as of the past, generations.

Book Description
Over twenty-five years and through five editions, Walter I. Trattner's From Poor Law to Welfare State has served as the standard text on the history of welfare policy in the United States. The only comprehensive account of American social welfare history from the colonial era to the present, the new sixth edition has been updated to include the latest developments in our society as well as trends in social welfare. Trattner provides in-depth examination of developments in child welfare, public health, and the evolution of social work as a profession, showing how all these changes affected the treatment of the poor and needy in America. He explores the impact of public policies on social workers and other helping professions -- all against the backdrop of social and intellectual trends in American history. From Poor Law to Welfare State directly addresses racism and sexism and pays special attention to the worsening problems of child abuse, neglect, and homelessness. Topics new to this sixth edition include: A review of President Clinton's health-care reform and its failure, and his efforts to "end welfare as we know it" Recent developments in child welfare including an expanded section on the voluntary use of children's institutions by parents in the nineteenth century, and the continued discrimination against black youth in the juvenile justice system An in-depth discussion of Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein's controversial book, The Bell Curve, which provided social conservatives new weapons in their war on the black poor and social welfare in general The latest information on AIDS and the reappearance of tuberculosis -- and their impact on public health policy A new Preface and Conclusion, and substantially updated Bibliographies Written for students in social work and other human service professions, From Poor Law to Welfare State: A History of Social Welfare in America is also an essential resource for historians, political scientists, sociologists, and policymakers.

Book Description
Crossing period boundaries separating late medieval, early modern, and long eighteenth-century England, Paul A. Fideler offers a coherent overview of parish-centered social welfare from its medieval roots, through its institutionalisation in the Elizabethan Poor Law, to its demise in the early years of the Industrial Revolution. The study: - incorporates the latest scholarship - weaves together social, economic, demographic, medical, political, religious and ideological history - offers fresh treatments of the contextual importance of Christian moral theology in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, humanist and protestant thought in the sixteenth century and neo-Stoic benevolence and political arithmetic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - explores two competing approaches to social welfare: societas (voluntary, rooted in custom and tradition) and civitas (mandatory, embedded in policy and law) - concludes with a detailed examination of the first histories of social welfare in England undertaken in the late eighteenth century.
