Child Welfare Removals by the State

Kenneth Burns, Tarja Pösö, Marit Skivenes

'Child Welfare Removals by the State' examines how child protection systems in eight modern, democratic states proceed when deciding whether to remove vulnerable children from their home. In particular, it analyzes socio-legal decision-making systems at the exact point when care is decided, including court, court-like, and voluntary removal systems.
