Governing Charities: Church and State in Toronto's Catholic Archdiocese, 1850-1950 Governing Charities challenges received accounts of the welfare state by highlighting the complex web of relationships that characterize the delivery of social services. In tracing the connections between the Catholic Church in Toronto and provincial and municipal governments, Paula Maurutto takes issue with the view that the welfare state marks a modern, secular, and scientific progression from a pre-1920 "Golden Age" when churches dominated the voluntary sector. Maurutto highlights the historical role of Catholic voluntary organizations in the policing of citizens, the regulation of juvenile delinquents, and the maintenance of national security. She advances a broader understanding of law enforcement and policing by examining the interplay between public and private institutions.
