1. Our quiz on last week's material.
2. Our guest lecture from Dr. Berger (as described in the previous posting).
3. Beginning the topic of Welfare Reform.
UPDATE AFTER DR. BERGER'S PRESENTATION
I made a graphic of the diagram I wrote on the board during Dr. Berger's presentation, putting his lecture notes into pictorial form.
Again, the key point is that there inevitably will be error in human judgment, and the red areas illustrate the two types of error. The two types of error work in the fashion of a trade-off -- lowering one will raise the other. Policymakers must craft regulations to achieve the trade-off they want, within Constitutional parameters (see Section 15.4, p. 198 of Krause and Meyer's Family Law book).

While I intelectually agree with the overinclusion of parents and families in the CPS to ensure that we do indeed catch and punish or help families in need of CPS. PPl like my sister's family are shuffled and lost in a overtaxed and uncaring system, where black ppl are assumed guilty until they prove their innocence. This is CRAP! The sad part is, ppl disadvantaged to begin w/ ultimately pay the price in this system, just like in every other system in the US, they get screwed and become a statistic.
