Protecting Vulnerable People
The term “vulnerable people” lacks a formal definition, but
most scholars agree that a vulnerable person is an adult who is
disabled by age, illness, mental disability, or other debilitation
and is unable to take care of him or herself, including from
exploitation or other harm. Although traditional safeguards are
available through the legal system, it does not provide complete
protection for vulnerable people. New safeguards are emerging,
but adoption of those safeguards has been slow. How can a
public administrator help?
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 11, “Family Law,” in The Study of Law: A
Critical Thinking Approach (4th ed.). Reflect on the traditional
legal methods available to vulnerable people.
Review the article “Factors Contributing to Disproportionality
in the Child Welfare System: Views From the Legal
Community.” Consider how the current child welfare system is
failing to protect vulnerable people and what can be done to
change that.
Review the article “Civil Protective Order Effectiveness: Justice
or Just a Piece of Paper?” Reflect on the limitations of the
modern protective order system. Consider how that system is
both protecting and failing to protect vulnerable people.
Consider what a public administrator can do outside traditional
legal methods to protect vulnerable people.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a 300 word explanation by Wednesday February 15, 2017
of what a public administrator can do outside traditional legal
methods to protect vulnerable people.
Support your work with proper APA citations from the Learning
Resources and any other sources.
