    Forensic Social Work

    Forensic social work is the application of social work to questions and issues relating to law and
    legal systems.

    Child custody issues, involving separation, divorce, neglect, termination of parental rights, the
    implications of child and spouse abuse (violence against women and children), juvenile justice
    services, corrections, and mandated treatment all fall under this definition.

    Forensic social work is based on specialized knowledge drawn from established principles and their
    application, familiarity with the law, painstaking evaluation, and objective criteria associated with
    treatment outcomes.

    What the social worker offers must be of utility and couched in language to which the court can
    relate. The conclusions and recommendations must withstand critical review and rebuttal from
    opposing parties.

    The training of social work practitioners has not traditionally included familiarity with the adversary
    process nor the issues that civil and criminal justice systems confront. Without such training, social
    workers called onto provide forensic services may find themselves at a disadvantage.
