“…Social workers have historically embraced collective action and citizen participation as best practice strategies for addressing social problems. More specifically, community organizing, which has deep roots in social work practice, and deliberative justice, which is recognized as being integral to policy decision making, prioritize the inclusion of stakeholders, reflecting social work professional values of client (community) self-determination and empowerment, and strengths-based practice (Brady & O’Connor, 2014; Morrow, 2011; Staples, 2012). Brady and O’Connor (2014) developed the Dialectical Empowerment Model of Community Organizing Practice that identified trust as a critical component to engaging community members that must be established before any meaningful progress can be made.…”

“…Brady and O’Connor (2014) developed the Dialectical Empowerment Model of Community Organizing Practice that identified trust as a critical component to engaging community members that must be established before any meaningful progress can be made. Similarly, Morrow (2011, p. 390) asserted that engagement in deliberative justice practice is key to moving toward identifying “mutually agreed-on intervention goals and objectives.” Community-based work addressing gang violence exemplifies ways in which those directly impacted by an issue can be instrumental in finding solutions. Gang reduction programs often recruit former gang members as interventionists and bring current gang members to the table to problem solve, although not without controversy (Klein, 2011).…”

Criminal, Victim, or Ally? Examining the Role of Sex Workers in Addressing Minor Sex Trafficking

The absence of representation from the sex industry in efforts to address the commercial sexual exploitation of children is striking. ''Voices'' that get heard are generally limited to survivor testimony, while those who are currently in ''the life'' are excluded, despite the fact that many enter into prostitution underage and would have been defined as child sex trafficking victims under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. This article explores the silencing effect of conflating prostitution with sex trafficking, the ways in which sex workers might contribute to addressing the commercial sexual exploitation of children as ''allies,'' and the ethical responsibility of social workers in antitrafficking work.

“…Distributive justice is weighed according to the relative worth of the measured outcomes attributed to social policy (Morrow, 2011). Rather than continue to exhaust valuable resources futilely attempting to demonstrate program efficacy (based on distributive justice) over and over again, it would seem far more productive, as Besharov (2009) suggests, to abandon this folly in order to begin the "difficult and unglamorous work of systematic program improvement" (p. 199) or complete systemic reinvention using a deliberative justice process.…”

“…Acknowledging the critical role of individual agency, Habermas believes that "individuals are empowered when knowledge production and claims are legitimated through communicative action" (as cited in Counsell & Agran, 2013). Deliberative justice emphasizes the "importance of debate among stakeholders to allow for an active interchange of ideas and values prior to decision making" (Morrow, 2011).…”

Using Head Start as an example of a compensatory social program based on a liberal egalitarian view of justice, this paper shows how all such programs are fundamentally flawed. In spite of any good intentions, by creating a discourse of deficiency and attempting amelioration through segregation this approach contains the seeds of its own failure. And, indeed, Head Start has floundered since its inception. That there is real need is clear; however, a new way forward is essential. We propose a model, based on social pedagogy, that takes seriously and respectfully the lifeworld of the children and families involved, and works cooperatively to find a way forward for everyone instead of imposing an externally-driven system response to an inadequately understood lifeworld. In addition, this reconceptualization must move beyond the exclusiveness of compensatory programs to inclusiveness of all children and families. This approach offers hope both for a more just social world in general based on deliberative justice as well as attaining goals of student achievement and development.

Pedagogía Social y programas compensatorios liberales igualitarios: el caso de Head StartResumen: Usando Head Start como un ejemplo de un programa de compensación social basado en una visión de justicia liberal igualitaria, este trabajo muestra cómo todos estos programas son fundamentalmente erróneos. A pesar de las buenas intenciones, mediante la creación de un discurso de la deficiencia y tratar de mejorar a través de practicas de segregación este enfoque contiene las semillas de su propio fracaso. Y, de hecho, Head Start ha fracasado desde sus inicios. Es claro, que hay necesidad real, sin embargo, es preciso buscar un nuevo modelo. Se propone un modelo, basado en la pedagogía social, que tome en serio y con respeto la visión de mundo de los niños y las familias involucradas, y trabajar colaborativamente para encontrar un camino a seguir en lugar de imponer una respuesta desde un sistema externo que no comprende la visión de mundo de las familias involucradas. Además, esta re conceptualización debe ir más allá de la exclusividad de los programas compensatorios para la inclusión de todos los niños y las familias. Este enfoque ofrece esperanza, tanto para un mundo más justo, en general, basada en la justicia deliberativa, así como al objetivo de obtener logros educativos y de desarrollo.
