- FOCUS IN PRISONS IRONIC OF COURSE – as women often far away from children YET still parenting from the ‘inside’ NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING . . . Single women were perceived to be a drain on welfare providers and much effort was therefore invested by the state, through a range of official p53 discourses, in treating them as undeserving, self destructive sexual deviants. Many professionals believed that infant mortality between the wars was caused not by poverty, but by a failure of motherhood. Governments decided that a sense of maternal responsibility needed to be taught to working –class mothers. In the first decade of the twentieth century, ‘schools for mothers’ were set up in Britain by voluntary agencies to give advice and training to working-class mothers. Since the middle classes employed nannies and/or nursemaids and were not expected to take part in ‘hands-on’ childrearing, they were not targeted. . .. WITH colleagues in Coventry – series of projects focusing of teenage pregnancy and young parenthood – young women more likely than other women to engage in RISKY BEHAVUORS and therefore make RISKY parents BUT we found overwhelmingly most at risk by not accessing the services they are entitled too ALSO – negative discourses are pervasive – some groups of people more likely to be bad parents – some young women distance themselves from OTHER young mothers/the real young mothers ie the bad ones
