This pilot study examined the challenges faced by social welfare workers in Japan during the pandemic. Japanese social welfare departments in municipal governments, which are primary providers of public assistance and social services, are staffed by government officers (GOs, permanent government employees) and non-regular frontline workers (NRs, hired on annual contracts, predominantly female, covering direct casework). Informed by narrative inquiries, five individual interviews of GOs and NRs were conducted. The thematic analysis highlighted the increased employment instability, individualisation, and powerlessness among NRs. NRs expressed intensified stress from the safety risk, long working hours, and insufficient organisational support. Stratified by different types of contracts, resultant tasks, and genders, NRs experienced intensified isolation, leading to burnout. The implications of working precariously in the pandemic under the neoliberal social welfare systems are discussed.","PeriodicalId":44820,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development","volume":"13 1","pages":"184 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77708815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the potential effects of childhood trauma experiences on cyberbullying perpetration with consideration of the role of emotion dysregulation. Participants (N = 1305) were recruited from elementary and middle schools (ages 9–16) in Yiyang County, Jiangxi Province, China during 2019. Multi-phase logistic regression analysis was used to explore childhood trauma and emotion dysregulation as predictors of cyberbullying experiences. The results showed that both childhood trauma experiences and emotion dysregulation were positively related to cyberbullying perpetration, with the relationship between sexual abuse and cyber-perpetration showing the highest coefficient among forms of childhood trauma. These findings may provide valuable information for use in cyberbullying prevention/intervention research and practice by clarifying avenues for alleviating childhood trauma experiences among minors.","PeriodicalId":44820,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development","volume":"2 1","pages":"50 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78765949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study investigated factors related to sentencing decisions for child abuse deaths between 2000 and 2013 (45 cases before the CAA) and between 2014 and 2017 (20 cases after the CAA). This study used Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to examine whether there were differences in judicial decisions before and after the CAA. The results showed that the sentencing standard has become stricter following the enactment of the CAA; however, sentences have still been primarily guided by judicial discretion. The current study suggests that it is important to amend the current CAA to clarify sentencing standards for child abuse. This amendment can ensure that punishment is primarily determined by specific provisions of the law.","PeriodicalId":44820,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social Work and Development","volume":"28 1","pages":"19 - 31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91029745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the data collected from 854 Chinese mothers, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to examine the factor structure of the scale. The internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the scale were also examined. EFA yielded a twofold factor structure (i.e. presence of meaning and search for meaning in parenthood) with ten items, which was supported by the CFA and explained 62.1% of the total variance. The Cronbach’s alpha indicates a satisfactory reliability of MPQ-Presence and MPQ-Search subscales (i.e. .788 and .883, respectively). The construct validity of both MPQ-Presence and MPQ-Search subscales were established by their significant correlations with parental efficacy and life satisfaction.

Multilevel logistic regression was utilised with data from 14,014 alleged child maltreatment cases and 36 CPS agencies and their jurisdictions. The results revealed that maltreatment substantiation is associated with the characteristics of alleged child maltreatment cases and the backgrounds of organisations and communities. Specifically, using time-limits to determine decision-making at CPS agencies was associated with a higher likelihood of substantiation, whereas more workload of investigation workers and residents’ mobility in communities were associated with a lower likelihood of substantiation. Additionally, a child’s mental health concerns, the caregiver’s risk factors, caregiver being parent, the family structure, and police officer accompanied for investigation were associated with substantiation.
