Description

Since the 1970s, child welfare policies and programs have focused on providing children and youths in foster care with permanency (Pike, 1976). For the purposes of this article, we are interested in permanency associated with a stable exit from foster care, as well as placement stability while in care. Child welfare research has typically centered on increasing permanent exits from foster care, for example, successful reunification, adoption, or guardianship (Berrick, Needell, Barth, & Jonson-Reid, 1998). Little work has been done to understand how stability during foster care and permanency after child welfare foster care is linked to later delinquent acts that lead to probation-supervised foster care. The present study followed children who exited child welfare foster care before emancipation to understand how placement stability and permanence following care was associated with subsequent placement in probation-supervised foster care. This was done while controlling for child demographics and foster care s ervice information (for example, placement types, number of spells, and length of stay). An underlying assumption in child welfare agencies and most child welfare research is that the absence of a return to child welfare foster care indicates a positive outcome. Children who leave the child welfare system before emancipation may, however, again experience foster or group care under the supervision of either juvenile justice or mental health agencies. Neither mental health- nor probation-supervised foster care is a positive indicator of development.
