In an era in which child protective service agencies face increased demands on their time and in an environment of stable or shrinking resources, great interest exists in improving risk assessment and decision support. In this article, we review the literature and provide a context for predictive risk modeling in the current risk assessment paradigm in child protective services. We describe how predictive analytics or predictive risk modeling using linked administrative data may provide a useful complement to current approaches. We argue that leveraging technology and using existing data to improve initial triage and assessment decisions will enable caseworkers to focus on what they do best: engaging families and providing needed services.

To begin to address the vestiges of racism that permeates many of our institutions and our long term structures, we have to continually ameliorate the current effects of past discrimination and racism. It starts with acknowledgment and an understanding that racism is still with us. It means acknowledging racism is also “social and institutional power plus race prejudice,” and not something we can only attribute to an individual. It also starts with the acceptance of the diversity that makes us who we are as a country. In order for us to address racism and diversity in an effective way, we must build inter-racial and ethnic relationships and develop “safe containers” in which we can have honest dialogue and deal with personal and group challenges, address issues and questions related to racism and begin to position ourselves to become effective anti-racists.
