Cover Story: This study examines multidimensional aspects of social network characteristics of mothers reported to and investigated by the child protection system (CPS). Specifically, this study assesses having a recurrent CPS investigation within one year of an index investigation as a function of positive social network ties, negative social network ties, and perceived neighborhood support. Cluster analysis is used to identify distinct combinations of network characteristics among mothers with recent investigations, and logistic regression analyses are applied to examine whether different cluster types are predictive of CPS re-investigations within one year. Study results suggest that a more multi-faceted view of social networks can be helpful for understanding the social contexts of mothers as they experience contact with CPS. View this paper
