Should DCFS Workers be profiled?


Given the stress, burnout and turnover of Child Protective Services ("CPS") workers across the country, Daniel Pollack of Yeshiva University and Khaya Eisenberg have posited that using profiling in the hiring of CPS workers may help reduce these problems.  Their article The Need for a Child Protective Services Investigator Psychological Profile was recently published in the Michigan Child Welfare Law Journal.  In the article they use law enforcement hiring practices as an analogy and consider the personality traits of an ideal CPS worker.

What do you think?  Should CPS workers be profiled?
