Child protective services: research for the future
1American Bar Association Center on Children and the Law, Washington, DC.
Abstract:
The legal context of child protective services provides the framework for all inquiries and knowledge-building in the field. From this foundation, it is possible to analyze the definition of a child protective services case, describe who is served by the system, evaluate current system functioning, and identify outcome measures. Future research should address formative questions such as the development of consistent definitions of maltreatment and evaluation of service delivery. Evaluation should include measuring treatment outcomes as well as examining the functioning and management of the system.

This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
