What state, local, and agency policy implications were there for Albert?
Albert Mendoza was a baccalaureate social work intern at Crime Victims Center, an agency serving crime victims. His client, Carlos Hernandez, was a Mexican immigrant who sought both financial assistance for medical care and counseling for his family after they were assaulted in their home. Carlos was unable to communicate in English, and Albert had difficulty with his limited Spanish language proficiency. Albert began to suspect that Carlos was in the country illegally. He worried that he didn’t know the law about services available to illegal immigrants, specifically the Crime Victim’s Compensation funds. The agency did not have another Spanish-speaking worker, and Albert, a new social work intern, had primary responsibility for the case.
Albert might begin by doing research on the pertinent policies and their implications. He could read state law and Crime Victims’ Compensation fund policies as well as agency policies. Additionally, he could consider, through reading and supervisory and consultative conversations, the role of policy in the delivery of services for Carlos and his family.
