The thesis is a part of a larger survey of the wards in British Columbia, with a special reference to the eighteen wards of Children's Aid Society of Vancouver, who were in correctional institutions as of October 31st, 1954. The history of child protection and welfare is briefly described, as a background to the study, and traces the developments in the child protect-ion movement, from early British Poor Laws to the present complex Canadian pattern of child welfare and protection, in itself a part of development in North America generally. The examination of the statistical and qualitative material shoved that rejection in early childhood had often disturbed the children emotionally so badly that they were not able to adjust themselves in a foster home placement. The children were emotionally maladjusted, had difficulties in their relationship with the others and shoved disturbed and delinquent behaviour* The analysis pointed out that all the foster home placements proved to be failures and resulted finally in their being placed in a correctional institution. Case illustrations were used to give a more detailed picture of the needs of the children during the placements and the efforts that were made to help and prevent their further disturbance. The illustrations discuss the available history given in case records, and point out the damaging effects of certain events during the early childhood as veil as during the foster home placements. The study of eighteen eases led to the formulation of certain recommendations regarding a thorough study of each child when first taken into care, as well as the study of the reasons for the failure of foster home placements. It is hoped that this might help to prevent maladjustment in foster home placements. As the final conclusion of this study, three types of treatment homes are suggested for the children to whom the foster home placement in normal home environment proved to be unsuccessful. The agency and community interests are also stressed in the overall effort to prevent further "social hazards” in society. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

This study surveys the facilities and services for the children admitted to the Vancouver Detention Home. A comparison of this detention home and that of Frazer Detention Home, Portland, Oregon, has been made in certain instances. The Historical development of the Vancouver Home has been briefly covered, also probable future suggestions for improvements in treatment, in the Home and personnel have been discussed. One chapter is devoted entirely to case studies which were considered a "cross-section" of the kind of child admitted. Strengths and weaknesses in the treatment are noted. Emphasis is given to the professional requirements of personnel within the Home. Administration, Intake, Recreational Program, Work Program and School Program are reviewed. An Evaluation of the usefulness of the building is also made. The importance of understanding the needs for a specific child are discussed in some detail. The role of the social worker is emphasized. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

The research discussed in this thesis was the first to analyse the use of the Appropriate Adult for mentally disordered adult suspects in the police station. The role of the Appropriate Adult raises questions about how, and under what circumstances should mentally disordered suspects be detained and interviewed in the police station? The Appropriate Adult is the only special protection provided for mentally disordered suspects during their detention and interrogation. The Appropriate Adult's role and function is defined in Code C of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The role of the Appropriate Adult is to ensure that the suspect's rights are respected, the suspect understands the procedures involved and that the police adhere to the Code, thereby minimising the risk of the police obtaining unreliable evidence from the suspect e. g. false confessions. The data in this thesis shows that the use of the Appropriate Adult is rarely used. Out of the study of 20.805 custody records in four police stations in three police areas during 1992, it was found that an Appropriate Adult was used for only 38 mentally disordered adult suspects. The research also showed that at least a further 448 mentally vulnerable suspects should have had an Appropriate Adult called for them. Some of the reasons why the Appropriate Adult protection is neglected are examined and in so doing many socio/legal questions are raised such as: false confessions, miscarriages of justice, the amendment to the `right to silence, ' confidentiality, the roles of the custody officer, solicitors and police surgeons, and last but not least, the role and function of the Appropriate Adult. While there is growing concern about the ability of persons asked to act as Appropriate Adults the thesis includes a case study of a volunteer Appropriate Adult Scheme that provides some answers to the many issues raised and points the way to future development of those suspects detained and interviewed in the police station.

archives@tulane.edu / U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “alternatives to detention” program, known as the Intensive Supervisory Appearance Program (ISAP) is promoted as a “humane” immigration enforcement method for Central American women with children. In addition to frequent reporting requirements, ISAP enrollees are required to wear an electronic ankle bracelet monitor, typically referred to as “grilletes” or “shackles” by the persons who wear them. This thesis uses historical and media analysis methods to first demonstrate how mainstream media uses neoliberal gender ideologies that simultaneously domesticate and criminalize immigrant parents to justify the practice of assigning ankle shackles to Central American women with children. The second part is based on six in-depth interviews with men and women in ISAP. Drawing on these interviews as well as feminist theories of the body, labor, and space, this thesis develops the concept of “embodied illegality” as a way to demonstrate the punitive and detention-like effects of the “grilletes” on its wearers’ lives. It also discusses how gender shapes men and women’s experiences of embodied illegality and suggest that—because of prevailing gender ideologies about women, motherhood, and domesticity—women may have more punitive experiences from the “grillete.” / 1 / Karla Daniela Rosas Rosas
