Emotional maltreatment in adolescents' everyday lives: furthering sociolegal reforms and social service provisions.

The article examines sociolegal responses to adolescent victimization, particularly responses to the emotional dimensions of their violent personal relationships. The investigation reveals how the legal system generally fails to recognize youth's emotional maltreatment. Responses tend to consider emotional maltreatment as subordinate and secondary to some legally prohibited sexual and physical assaults. Rather than casting emotional dimensions as ancillary to a narrowly delimited set of sexual and physical assaults, this article proposes that efforts to counter emotional maltreatment become the centerpiece of efforts to understand adolescents' violent relationships; that it become central in the design of policies aimed to foster adolescent development; and that no existing legal rules or policy considerations prevent further recognition of adolescents' legal right to protection from emotional maltreatment.

The double-edged sword of social service contracting: public accountability versus nonprofit autonomy.

The increased role of government contracts in the funding of nonprofits has heightened tensions as governments seek accountability and nonprofits seek to preserve autonomy. Considering both sides of the contract market this article suggests that the threat of government funding is exaggerated. Nonprofits are attractive contractor options because of their experience and trustworthiness. Governments should recognize that excessive intrusions limit the advantages of the nonprofit sector. At the same time, nonprofits should be conscious of the implications of public funding, just as they must be of other sources of funding.
