TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Local realities: a frontier perspective on child protection team practice JO - Child welfare A1 - Jacobson, Maxine SP - 737 EP - 755 VL - 81 IS - 5 N2 - This article presents a case study of a child protection team in a frontier county in Montana. Narratives from individual and group interviews highlight team members' experiences and the structuring of team practice in their frontier community, the power and challenge of community culture and history, and the interplay of constructions of children and child abuse as key elements that influence and shape team practice. This exploration suggests a framework for rethinking child protection team practice in diverse locations.
