Cox, Introduction to Social Work, 3e SAGE Publishing, 202 Case Study Chapter 3: Generalist Social Work Practice Amy , a generalist social worker in a Mid-Atlantic State, works with girls in the criminal justice system charged with status offenses including truancy, curfew violations, and running away. Through her work, Amy discovered that each year a disproportionate number of status offenses are brought against girls. Amy wonders why this occurs and what she can do to better understand this trend. Consider how Amy can use the change process to learn about the needs of the girls she works with and how that information could be used to change gender-responsive choices of the criminal justice system. 1. Whom would it be important for Amy to engage with during the first stage of the change process? Consider both people who can help her to effect change and those who can help her have a more accurate scope of the problem. I think that during the engagement process, it is important for Amy to engage with parents, teachers, law enforcement, and community members to see what their awareness, thoughts, or comments are. It is also important to not forget the teens themselves, both boys but primarily girls to see what may be causing the differences between genders. If she talks to enough people, she may find a common denominator behind this issue. 2. What roadblocks might Amy encounter in her efforts to both define and address this problem? She might have to dig through some bias in her engagement with people. Some people will have opinions in both extremes, or perceive the situation differently from their role in society. For example, a parent of all daughters may have a different opinion on the topic than a 30-year-old male police officer who is helping charge them with the offenses. Also, being a female herself, she will have to step back from the gender situation and analyze it from a neutral standpoint.
