Description:
Review "...this well-written book delivers on its promise--a strong account for sea changes in child support policy. The Politics of Child Support in America is recommended reading for students of public policy, advocates, and child support professionals." -Family Court Review "This is a useful and timely contribution to studies of social policy change and should spark other fruitful research." -Renee Monson, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, American Journal of Sociology Book Description This book explores the topic of policy innovation by examining the efforts of leaders in the area of American child support over time. Covering over a 100 year period, this book tracks the evolution of multiple sets of political entrepreneurs as they grapple with the child support problem: charity workers with local law enforcement in the 19th century, social workers through the 1960s, conservatives during the 1970s, women's groups and women legislators in the 1980s, and father's rights groups in the 1990s and beyond.
