The political science class. Child Protective Policies, will be taught by John Drew, a visiting assistant professor in the political science department. Drew says there are no technical barriers to ending child abuse in this country. Abusive parents could be quickly detected and controlled if society would allow child protective workers to screen new parents and conduct the same home visiting practice common in Western Europe. “1 don’t think there’s something that makes us more abusive than other cultures," Drew says. "But child abuse isn't an issue in other countries.” The child abuse problem in the United States stems from the fact that people trained to recognize and deal with child abuse, such as teachers, do not see potential victims until they begin school at age five or six. Drew says. In Europe, protective workers screen new parents and visit the homes where parents live with their children. "Visiting nurses go door-to-door, giving free diapers and baby formula and checking on the children," Drew says. The difficulty in the United States is that ef fective measures such as these are unpopular with both liberals and conservatives, he says. Liberals fear such strong measures would be used to harass the poor, while conservatives fear they would give the state too much power over the family, he says. "We seem to believe that child abuse is the price we pay for freedom," Draw says. The class will focus on Americans' in dividualistic styles of child-rearing and in vestigate the impact of American political institu tions and political culture on such issues as physical abuse and neglect, emotional abuse, sex abuse, detection, teenage pregnancy and childhood poverty. Drew says. Guest speakers and class discussion also will be integral parts of the course, he says. People who deal with child abuse on a daily basis, such as juvenile court judges, representatives from Planned Parenthood and the state's Child Protec tive Sen-ices division, are possible speakers, he says. in an effort to increase interest in the course, the political science department has sent informa tion about it to various child-oriented organiza tions such as community service offices and elementary schools, Drew says. "We’re very much hoping to attract com munity members to the class," he says. The course will be offered Monday evenings from 7 to 8:50. and will begin Jan. 13.
