Domestic violence is known to have occurred in 40 to 70% of child welfare cases and has served in some capacity as the basis for removing the child from the birth home (Edleson, 1999). Kinship care is regarded as a growing option for many of these families. This conceptual article discusses the distinct ways that kinship care and domestic violence are linked. The authors discuss how silence, the rising incarceration of women, mistrust of the system, difficulty in securing services for survivors, and economic hardship create unique challenges that require attention at both the practice and policy levels. Policy interventions are proposed at the mezzo and macro levels. Recommendations include promoting the Family Violence Options under the TANF program. The article also discusses the unintended consequences the Adoption and Safe Families Act has in domestic violence situations. doi:10.1300/J045v22n03_05.
据了解，在40%至70%的儿童福利案件中存在家庭暴力情况，并且在某种程度上，家庭暴力已成为将儿童从原生家庭带走的依据（埃德尔森，1999年）。亲属抚养被视为许多此类家庭日益增多的一种选择。这篇概念性文章讨论了亲属抚养与家庭暴力相联系的不同方式。作者探讨了沉默、女性监禁率上升、对系统的不信任、幸存者难以获得服务以及经济困难如何造成独特的挑战，这些挑战需要在实践和政策层面予以关注。文章在中观和宏观层面提出了政策干预措施。建议包括在临时援助家庭计划下推广家庭暴力应对方案。文章还讨论了《收养与安全家庭法》在家庭暴力情况下产生的意外后果。doi:10.1300/J045v22n03_05
