Summary Formal definitions of justice calling us to “render the other their due” are elastic, given shape by our grasp of the moral bonds connecting persons and the relationship between this virtue and other moral habits, affections, or the concrete experience of our lives. This paper, written for a conference on education to justice in Jesuit Universities, examines nine theories of justice (Utilitarianism, Libertarianism, Social Contract, Complex Equality, a Feminist Ethics of Care, Christian Realism, Catholic Social Thought, Liberation Theology, and a Biblical notion of justice) in light of their perspective on the rights and duties persons have to one another and the relationship of justice to compassion and the affections.

Summary Persons with developmental disabilities who enter the criminal justice system face injustices throughout the process. For example, their disability often goes undetected, they are more likely to incriminate themselves because they do not understand their Miranda rights, they are more likely to be imprisoned rather than receive probation, and they typically serve longer prison sentences. Based upon a review of the literature and the experiences of one program, this article provides strategies for practicing social justice with this population, which require intervention at the individual, organizational, and social policy levels.

Abstract Randomly sampled Catholic priests functioning in parishes throughout the United States were surveyed to determine who they believed should assist people in 13 moral, emotional, familial, and personal problem‐situations. To each problem situation, respondents were asked to choose one of the following four options: (1) a priest; (2) a priest with advanced mental health training in clinical social work, counseling, psychology or psychiatry; (3) a lay mental health professional; or (4) these specific situations should be handled by the person alone and without skilled help. The findings indicate that priest‐respondents believed that moral problems such as marrying a non‐Catholic (92.0%) and conflict over birth control (78.9%) should be handled by priests, whereas severe emotional problems (74.9%), spousal abuse (62.8%), personal alcohol abuse (59.3%), abnormal grief reactions (54.8%), and teenagers using drugs (52.3%) should be referred to lay professionals. “Hearing the voice of God” and “seeing Jesus” were situations perceived to be within the competence of priests, especially those with advanced clinical training. Years of pastoral experience and advanced clinical training seem to have an effect on few of these decisions. Implications for social work are discussed, particularly in light of policy initiatives for faith‐based service provision.

Summary Homelessness in the United States continues to grow despite unprecedented prosperity. Even with a wide array of services, shelters are not stemming the tide. The answer is a massive recommitment by both federal and state governments to increase the steadily shrinking supply of low‐income housing. The policy remedy is for every family to have an entitlement to safe, sanitary, and affordable housing. Homeless‐ness is a national disgrace. It is both preventable and remediable.

Summary The intersection of race and poverty presents the two most seemingly intractable social problems in the United States today. Despite gains in the recent decades, unacceptable levels of institutional racism and poverty persist. Increasing income and wealth gaps, desegregation of schools, absence of minorities in the highest levels of government and the private sector, and the radicalization of space all are indicators of this failure of democracy. The white majority prefers to imagine a colorblind society, not just as a goal but also as a current reality. The Bush administration's negative attitudes toward affirmative action, as well as former President Clinton's failed Race Initiative, are evidence that “liberty and justice for all” are not to be achieved in the near future.

Summary Children whose parents experience a divorce or separation frequently do not have a voice during the legal proceedings that determine custody and visitation. This paper describes one program that serves to give a voice to the children in these situations. Heritage House, a supervised visitation and custody exchange program, was established as a way to improve the quality of parents’ and children's interactions and decrease the potential for violence while maintaining parent/child ties. The initial evaluation of this program is discussed along with the implications of the program's design and operationalization for other programs.

Summary Working toward social justice has always been a part of the social work profession. However, many social workers experience difficulty incorporating social change activities within their professional practice. Practitioners must both learn to practice social change while students and be supported in such activities in their professional practice. An example of a resource within a social work program that explicitly ties practice and social justice is described. Suggestions for integrating justice into practice are included.

Abstract Using a semi‐structured telephone interview format, this qualitative study explored the narrative of conservative Christians (N = 12) in social work. Faith was found to be very important to the respondents and was perceived by them to influence their social work. The respondents were found to endorse all of the values of the profession as delineated in the NASW Code of Ethics, which they viewed as compatible with their own values. However, respondents overwhelmingly felt oppressed in the profession which, they held, abdicated the ethical mandates for religious diversity. The results, they believed, included not being understood, discrimination, unwarranted negative criticism, and failure of NASW to work to eliminate domination and oppression on their behalf. Finally, they were hesitant to promote the general welfare of society for fear of reprisals by other social workers. The dissonance between the profession's ethical mandates and its actual practice appears to engender a significant degree of psychological stress among members of this group.

Summary For six decades welfare entitlements were designated for the aid of poor children and since 1950, their caretaker. The current TANF program, however, represents a fundamental shift from child‐focused aid programs to caretaker‐focused work obligations. What are the economic and social consequences of a time‐limited governmental reordering of responsibility for vulnerable children? More importantly, what impacts will caretaker‐centered requirements and untested time limits have on the life chances of disadvantaged children? This article assesses from a social justice perspective previous income maintenance welfare initiatives, reviews their intended and actual outcomes, and explores the expected growing economic and social isolation of welfare recipients with current TANF policies. Following this assessment, future government initiatives as well social justice‐type strategies to address the economic and social isolation of welfare recipients are recommended.
