A four-county Indiana survey of the vast majority (approximately 90 percent) of the attorneys and public agency caseworkers involved in court actions on child abuse cases revealed considerable conflict over each other's role.
Abstract
The survey replicated the method used in previous research, which had yielded distinctly positive and negative results. The author discusses particularities of the four-county area and suggests ways to clarify roles and ameliorate the problem. (Publisher abstract)
