This article considers whether ‘social capital’ contributes to explaining the care-leaving experience. Various views of what constitutes social capital are explored, and a three-category typology is presented. Social capital theory is explored through the application of descriptive themes from a study undertaken across four African countries. The study adopted a resilience outcome-oriented mixed method design, which included peer researcher data collection, with 45 participants purposively selected from young people preparing to leave or having left the care of an international NGO providing a service in each country. Thematic analysis identified a series of cross-national dimensions. Framing these descriptive themes within social capital theory shifts the focus of understanding young people's experience away from their personal capacity to cope with the transition to adulthood. Instead, it highlights the types, range and quality of relationships that enable or frustrate their transition. This refocusing not only prompts an explicit relational understanding of care leaving but also suggests ways in which research, service design and practice might usefully be developed.</p>","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 1","pages":"459-468"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.13286","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145915861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic review was conducted on studies exploring the connection between family variables and adolescent cyberbullying perpetration. Articles published between 2012 and 2023 were retrieved from four databases (Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCO and PubMed). Of the 48 reviewed studies, family variables were categorized into contextual and practical types based on how they affected adolescent cyberbullying. Parenting style, family conflict and parent–child attachment were identified as contextual family variables that provide an emotional family climate, which in turn influences the effects of specific anticyberbullying parenting practices. Other family variables, such as parental mediation, family communication, family rules and family relationships, were classified as practical family variables that directly affect adolescent cyberbullying. This study combined contextual family variables with practical family factors, providing an integrated framework of traditional family factors with cyberspace characteristics from three interactive approaches.

Findings show that judgement processes were embedded in the relationships participants had with parents and children. This improved information quality, the tailoring and acceptance of supports and understandings of risks and protective factors. Participants preferred to ‘support not report’ until a tipping point was reached. Perceptions of engagement, the availability of community support services and values influenced tipping points. Service availability differed by the socioeconomic position of the school, affecting threshold decisions. The threshold for report acceptance by Oranga Tamariki (statutory agency) was perceived as increasing, which, combined with bureaucratic problems, reduced confidence in reporting, created ethical conflicts and reduced reporting.

Israeli law forbids polygamy, but Bedouin tradition and custom, as well as Islam—which conditions polygamy on just relations, physical and economic capability and maintenance of religious observance—allow a man to take more than one wife. This article presents the findings of an exploratory qualitative study of 18 child protection officers (CPOs) and social workers involved in parental custody allocation cases (GALs) employed by Israeli social affairs departments to work with the Bedouin minority. The study's aim is to describe the challenges they encounter in interventions regarding children at risk in polygamous families. These professionals encounter legal complexities, contend with minimal resources and lack tools suited to the unique needs of these children. The stigmatization of polygamous families by Israel's Jewish population and Arabs in the country's north adds another layer of complexity. All these obstacles delay efficient intervention strategies. The article emphasizes the importance of emotional treatment for these children who have grown up in polygamous families and the need for cultural sensitivity in interventions. It calls for a holistic approach that recognizes the various challenges and calls for a comprehensive reform to better protect and support children at risk in polygamous families.

Therefore, understanding risk factors for interparental conflict in the early parenting period is needed to inform early identification and support efforts. The present study aimed to identify parent, child and family factors associated with interparental conflict in the first postnatal year. Secondary analyses of self-report data from 175 mothers and 175 fathers of children aged 0–12 months (169 parent couples) participating in a co-parenting programme in Melbourne, Australia, were conducted. Multiple regression results revealed that lower co-parenting support, higher depressive symptoms and more children in the family were associated with mothers' and fathers' reports of interparental conflict. Additionally, for mothers only, infant crying concerns were associated with interparental conflict. Mothers also reported significantly more interparental conflict, depression, anxiety and stress symptoms and lower co-parenting support than fathers in the same family.

In addition, children's perspectives on this national discussion have been sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of corporal punishment among children, types of corporal punishment experienced by children, children's perspectives on the underlying causes of corporal punishment and their opinions on the use of corporal punishment at home. Corporal punishment was considered a standard practice in most homes, and the common corporal punishment methods were caning and whipping. Five themes emerged as the causes of the use of corporal punishment at home: children stealing, children not doing their household chores, children spending too much time on social media, children disrespecting adults and children engaging in physical altercations. Also, children had mixed opinions on the use of corporal punishment at home.
