Results from a comprehensive survey of public child welfare services reveal that for-profit firms are widely used as purchase-of-service contractors despite the social service field's traditional philosophical opposition to proprietary involvement in human service delivery. Taking note of this and larger economic trends, the author suggests several attitudinal and administrative adjustments that could make contracting a more effective tool for serving children, and the choice of vendor an empirical, rather than ideological, issue.
一项针对公共儿童福利服务的全面调查结果显示，尽管社会服务领域传统上在理念上反对营利性公司参与人类服务的提供，但营利性公司仍被广泛用作服务购买承包商。考虑到这一点以及更大的经济趋势，作者提出了一些态度和管理方面的调整建议，这些调整可以使合同承包成为服务儿童的更有效工具，并且供应商的选择成为一个基于实证而非意识形态的问题。
