Abstract:

The author traces two trends that emerged in the mid-1970’s in the field of child services: (1) a constriction of funding to child welfare services, and (2) a growing focus on the quantity of children enrolled rather than the quality of services rendered. The author offers possible explanations for both of these trends.
