From anti-immigration agendas that criminalise vulnerable
populations, to the punishment of the poor and the governance of
parenting, this timely book explores how diverse fields of social
policy intersect more deeply than ever with crime control and, in
so doing, deploy troubling strategies. The international context of
this book is complemented by the inclusion of specific policy
examples across the themes of work and welfare; borders and
migration; family policy; homelessness and the reintegration of
justice-involved persons. This book incites the reader to consider
how we can reclaim the best of the 'social' in social policy for
the twenty-first century.
This book ​presents an original synthesis of the leading
international research on children in conflict with the law,
providing an evidence base for a rights-based justice system.
Informed by international children’s rights standards, this book
presents relevant research findings in a clear, succinct and
accessible manner, identifying the key evidence underpinning three
rights-based themes of Prevention, Diversion and Justice, and
Reintegration. This book is the first analysis to map leading
inter-disciplinary research against the international children’s
rights framework in relation to children and the justice system. In
this way, it provides a unique evidence base for the implementation
of children’s rights in youth justice and will support all those
seeking to study, advocate or implement progressive approaches to
children in conflict with the law.  Â
This book, now available in paperback, explores the development of
youth policy and youth work in Ireland from the mid-nineeenth
century to the present day. Based on original research, funded by
the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences
(IRCHSS), it looks at the social construction of youth, the
emergence of the early youth movements and the nature and scope of
contemporary youth work. Key issues include: the shift from
mainstream to targeted provision, the professionalisation of the
sector and the increased partnership between the state and
voluntary sector. A second major theme is the treatment of young
people in industrial and reformatory schools, with particular
reference to the findings of the Ryan Report on child abuse (2009).
This is the only book which combines an exploration of the history
and current scope of youth work and youth policy, and which is
based on comprehensive original research. It will be essential
reading for lecturers and students in youth work, social sciences,
social history and related fields. -- .
