The Specialization of Forensic Social Work: Emergencies of intervention

Abstract:

This article proposes serving the need for specialization in interventions in legal and forensic realms. It is the result of interviews with various actors, social workers, judges and others, from the Youth Court of Santa Fe, Argentina, and outlines theoretical concepts and empirical references beyond that situation. The methodological focus is qualitative, and its central objective is to guide an exploration of relations between legal postulates and operating cultural suppositions. The article is rooted in the philosophical and social-scientific planes, to raise more operative-instrumental considerations, which finally are condensed in a prospective look at the issue.
