Plotnick, Robert D.; Garfinkel, Irwin; McLanahan, Sara S.; Ku, Inhoe – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2007

This suggests that more stringent child support enforcement creates incentives that reduce the likelihood of nonmarital…

California policy-makers clearly have ambitious goals for arts education.
