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. -- .
