Roberts,
A. R., & Brownell, P. (1999). A century of forensic
social work: Bridging the past to the present. Social
Work, 44(4), 359-369. Retrieved December 12, 2002,
from Academic Search Premier database: http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=2337063&db=aph
- This
article traces the emergence of forensic social
work from the Progressive Era and the founding
of the first juvenile court in 1899 to present day
policies and practices with victims of violent crimes
and with juvenile and adult offenders. Although
social workers have been providing outreach to at-risk
youths, gang members, offenders, and crime victims
for a century, the term "forensic social
work" has not previously been widely used
(Roberts & Brownell, 1999, p. 359).
