In the search for the causes of and solutions to social problems,
no social institution has been allocated such a central role as the
family. This volume examines how `the family' is constituted both
in explanations of social problems and in modes of state
intervention. The contributors consider some of the most
controversial social policy issues in Britain today: domestic
violence; child abuse; old age; mental health; juvenile
delinquency; and poverty and homelessness. In examining these
social problems, the contributors address key definitional issues,
assess traditional and alternative theoretical perspectives and
survey different modes of intervention. They show just how
pervasive and complex the state regulation of family life is in
contemporary society. With its illuminating interdisciplinary
approach, this volume is an essential textbook for students and
practitioners in all fields of family-related social work, social
policy and social science disciplines. It is a Course Book for The
Open University course D311 Family Life and Social Policy.
