The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the level of uncertainty experienced by many young people around the world and has complicated the developmental tasks associated with the transition to adulthood, including leaving home, completing education, and obtaining full-time employment. We are just beginning to understand the more immediate effects of the pandemic, but research from previous crises and economic recessions suggests that there will likely also be important long-term social, racial, and economic implications for young people who are coming of age today. In this commentary, we argue that it is critical for researchers interested in social welfare policy and practice to gather and analyze in-depth data on young people’s employment experiences to be able to fully capture, understand, and more effectively address the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: Broken windows theory has been applied in public health to understand how neighborhood disadvantage contributes to health risk and disparities. This longitudinal study examined the relationship between a broken windows index (i.e., a proxy for neighborhood disadvantage) and sexual behaviors and whether sexual sensation-seeking behaviors and parental monitoring moderated that relationship. Method: Participants were 188 African American adolescent girls incarcerated in a short-term detention facility in Atlanta, GA. Participants completed audio computer-assisted self-interviews at baseline, 3, and 6 months; interviews assessed neighborhood disadvantage, sexual risk behaviors, sexual sensation seeking, parental monitoring, and demographics. Results: Longitudinal findings indicate that the broken windows index was associated with risky sexual behaviors (e.g., condomless sex and sex while using drugs). Parental monitoring (i.e., knowledge of child activities and friends) moderated the relationship between broken windows and sexual risk behaviors. Conclusion: Future interventions should address underlying mechanisms linking structural disadvantage to sexual behaviors.

Ample scholarship has been dedicated to the ways that research has been harmful to Indigenous communities, and challenges faced by historically excluded scholars from across racial groups are well documented. In this work we consider the role of Indigenous peoples, knowledges, and practices within a framework of antiracist social work research. Indigenous peoples occupy a liminal space whereby we have been constructed as both political identities as well as a racialized category. We question the adequacy of antiracism alone as a framework for addressing the erasure, invisibility, and violence against Indigenous peoples and knowledges in research and scholarship. We write as Indigenous scholars focused on Indigenous health equity research and start by placing ourselves in relation to the content. We describe the role of settler colonialism in the racialization of Indigenous peoples and then turn to considering decolonizing and Indigenist research in relation to antiracist research. We end with recommended actions for individuals and institutions to support Indigenous scholarship in their efforts to advance antiracist research.

Objective: Despite the many studies noting the strong correlation between poverty and child maltreatment, the ways in which social workers and parents perceive the links between these phenomena have received little attention. Moreover, research investigating these links within a critical poverty knowledge framework and from a social inequality perspective is scant. This study addresses these gaps by conducting a critical, in-depth inquiry into the perspectives of parents and practitioners on the links and pathways between poverty and child maltreatment. Method: The study is based on 30 qualitative interviews with practitioners and families who took part in two child protection programs in Israel. Results: Based on critical poverty theories, analysis suggested the child protection–poverty matrix, which relates to both the multidimensionality of poverty and the ways in which all the dimensions of poverty influence parents, children, and their relationships with one another in their daily lives. Conclusion: The matrix illustrates the manifestation of neoliberal child protection policy in the lives of families and outlines how this social context might lead to child maltreatment and child protection involvement.

T he peer-review process is critical to ensuring the quality and rigor of the work published by the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research ( JSSWR). Peer reviews are the core of good scholarly publishing and a hallmark of all reputable journals. The peer reviewers listed here contributed their time and talents in 2021 to provide thoughtful, constructive critiques and encourage authors to produce their best written work. These reviewers have played a vital role in maintaining JSSWR’s high standards and commitment to timely dissemination of innovative research. Indeed, the time and effort that our peer reviewers dedicate to providing well-considered feedback on JSSWR submissions is a contribution not only to the journal but also to the social work field. The responsiveness of our reviewers has enabled JSSWR to maintain its commitment to high-quality, rapid review of manuscripts, with authors receiving a decision within 25 days of submission, on average.
