These and other structural incentives often enmesh our clients into systems in which they become commodities fueling the growth of the criminal justice complex (law enforcement, courts, jails and prisons, parole and probation). Once entangled our clients acquire a “criminal history” that can be used to deny public benefits including CalWorks, food stamps and low cost housing as well as employment. What is the ethical social work response?
The 2014 Law and Ethics Women’s Council Workshop, “Is Legal Always Ethical: Drug Policy and Social Work” will examine the impact of policy on the lives of individuals who become ensnared by the War on Drugs.
Join the Council on Thursday, February 27, 2014 at The Center for Healthy Communities, The California Endowment, 1000 N. Alameda, Los Angeles, CA 90012 for this Law and Ethics Workshop offering 6 CEUs (provider #4713) and lunch for $45.
