Looking at discretion broadly as the exercise of controlled
freedom, this edited volume introduces insights from a range of
social sciences perspectives. Traditionally, discussions of
discretion have drawn on legal notions of the appropriate exercise
of legitimate authority specified by legislators. However,
empirical and theoretical studies in the social sciences have
extended our understanding of discretion, moving us beyond a narrow
legal view. Contributors from a range of disciplines explore the
idea of discretion and related notions of freedom and control
across social and political practices and in different contexts. As
this complex and important topic is discussed and examined, both
total control and unconstrained freedom appear to be illusions.

Discretion has re-emerged as an issue of central importance for
welfare professionals over the last two decades in the face of an
intensification of management culture across the public sector.
This book presents an innovative framework for the analysis of
discretion, offering three accounts of the managerial role - the
domination model, the street level model and the author's
alternative discursive perspective. These different regimes of
discretion are examined through a case study within a social
services department, comparing and contrasting social work
discretion in an Older Persons Team and a Mental Health Team. This
innovative, theoretical and empirical analysis will be of great
interest to postgraduate students and researchers in social work
and related disciplines including social policy, public
administration and organizational studies, as well as professionals
in social work, health and education.
Bringing together international case studies, this book offers
theoretical and empirical insights into the interaction between
social work and social policy. Moving beyond existing studies on
policy practice, the book employs the policy cycle as a core
analytical frame and focuses on the influence of social work(ers)
in the problem definition, agenda setting, policy formulation and
implementation of social policy. Twenty-three contributors offer
examples of policy making from seven different countries and
demonstrate how social work practitioners can become political
actors, while also encouraging policy makers to become aware of the
potential of social work for the social policy-making process.

A respected black leader seeks to build greater racial unity and
spiritual harmony between whites and blacks by describing to white
Christians the characteristics that make black Christians and the
black church distinct. Dr. Evans hopes that by examining what the
Bible says about race, whites and blacks will grow toward unity in
Christ.
"Can a Christian really be perfect this side of Heaven?"
Of course not, but God calls us to be perfect. And against the
standards of God's perfections, our imperfections are glaring-yet
he does not reduce his standards or lower his expectations. What's
a believer to do?
In "The Perfect Christian" nationally acclaimed speaker and
teacher Dr. Tony Evans calls believers back to God's demand for
perfection. Evans suggests that the answer lies within the problem:
"The God who burdens us with the demand also provides the ability,
strength, direction, and support we need to grow into greater
conformity with His character."
With powerful biblical teaching, heart-grabbing insights, and
unforgettable anecdotes, Evans challenges you to "March in a new
direction in keeping with the perfect demands of our loving
heavenly Father." The end-of-the-chapter "Test your Perfection IQ"
questions invite you to consider how close to perfection you are
now and how you can grow from there.
