- Abstract
This book offers a complete account of Contextual Safeguarding theory, policy, and practice frameworks for the first time. It highlights the particular challenge of extra-familial routes through which young people experience significant harm, such as child sexual exploitation, criminal exploitation, serious youth violence, domestic abuse in teenage relationships, bullying, gang-association, and radicalisation.Through analysing case reviews, observing professionals, and co-creating practices with them, Firmin provides a personal, philosophical, strategic, and practical account of the design, implementation and future of Contextual Safeguarding. Drawing together a wealth of practice examples, case studies, policy references, and practitioner insights for the first time, this book articulates a new safeguarding framework and provides a detailed account of its translation across an entire child protection system and its relevant component parts.It will be of interest to all scholars, students, and professionals working within social work, youth justice and youth work, policing and law enforcement, community safety, council services, forensic and clinical psychology, counselling, health, and education.

- Abstract
Scholars and policymakers increasingly call for evidence-based, prevention-oriented, and community-driven approaches to improve public health and reduce youth crime, substance use, and related problems. However, few functional models exist. In Communities that Care, four leading experts on prevention describe one such system to illustrate how communities effectively engage in prevention activities. Communities That Care (CTC) is a coalition-based prevention system implemented successfully in dozens of communities across the world that promotes healthy development and reduces crime rates for youth. Drawing on literature from criminology, community psychology, and prevention science this book describes the conditions and actions necessary for effective community-based prevention. The authors illustrate how effective community-based prevention can be undertaken by describing how the CTC prevention system has been developed, implemented, evaluated, and disseminated across the U.S. and internationally. Communities that Care shares invaluable lessons about the implementation and evaluation of community-level interventions and establishes a set of best practices for anyone seeking to engage in and/or evaluate effective prevention efforts.

- Abstract
How can we end the inter-generational cycle of poverty and dysfunction in the US's urban ghettos? This ground-breaking and controversial book is the first to provide a child-centered perspective on the subject by combining a wealth of social science information with sophisticated normative analysis to support novel reforms—to child protection law and practice, family law, and zoning— that would quickly end that cycle. The rub is that the reforms needed would entail further suffering and loss of liberty for adults in these communities, and liberal advocacy organizations and academics are so adult-centered in their sympathies and thinking that they reflexively oppose any such measures. Liberals have instead promoted one ineffectual parent-focused program after another, in an ideologically-driven quest for the magic pill that can save both adults and children in these communities at the same time. This `insider critique'of liberal child welfare policy reveals a dilemma that liberals have yet to face squarely: there is an ineradicable conflict of interests between many young children and their parents, especially in areas of concentrated poverty, and one must choose sides.It is a must read for legal academics, political scientists, urban policy experts, as well as professionals working in social work, law, education, urban planning, legislative offices, and administrative agencies.

- Abstract
Exacerbated by the Great Recession, youth transitions to employment and adulthood have become increasingly protracted, precarious, and differentiated by gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Youth Labor in Transition examines young people's integration into employment, alongside the decisions and consequences of migrating to find work and later returning home. The authors identify key policy challenges for the future related to NEETS, overeducation, self-employment, and ethnic differences in outcomes. This illustrates the need to encompass a wider understanding of youth employment and job insecurity by including an analysis of economic production and how it relates to social reproduction of labor if policy intervention is to be effective. The mapping and extensive analysis in this book are the result of a 3½-year, European Union-funded research project (Strategic Transitions for Youth Labour in Europe, or STYLE; http://www.style-research.eu) coordinated by Jacqueline O'Reilly. With an overall budget of just under 5 million euros and involving 25 research partners; an international advisory network and local advisory boards of employers, unions, and policymakers; and non-governmental organizations from more than 20 European countries, STYLE is one of the largest European Commission-funded research projects to exist on this topic. Consequently, this book will appeal to an array of audiences, including academic and policy researchers in sociology, political science, economics, management studies, and more particular labor market and social policy; policy communities; and bachelor's- and master's-level students in courses on European studies or any of the aforementioned subject areas.

Lydia Halbhuber-Gassner, Barbara Kappenberg, Wolfgang Krell, Lydia Halbhuber-Gassner, Barbara Kappenberg, and Wolfgang Krell
- Abstract
Inhaftierung ist nicht nur ein gravierender Einschnitt in das Leben der verurteilten Person, sondern auch der Angehörigen: PartnerIn, Kinder, Eltern, Großeltern, Geschwister, enge Freunde. Diese werden häufig von der Inhaftierung überrascht. Neben dem Schock müssen sie auftretende psychische, soziale und materielle Probleme lösen und alleine die Erziehungsverantwortung und Alltagsbewältigung tragen. Aus Scham und Angst vor Ablehnung sowie sozialer Isolation wird die Inhaftierung vor der Familie und dem Umfeld häufig geheim gehalten. Das hindert die Betroffenen aber auch daran, sich vor Ort Unterstützung zu holen. Hier bietet die Online-Beratung eine gute Möglichkeit anonym, kostenlos sowie unabhängig von Ort und Zeit Fachleute um Rat zu fragen. Der Reader präsentiert neben Grundlagen zur Problematik der Angehörigen das breite Spektrum an Hilfeangeboten. Diese reichen von persönlicher Unterstützung, Gruppenarbeit in oder außerhalb der Haft bis zur Online-Beratung. Darüber hinaus werden viele Praxisbeispiele vorgestellt, die Orientierung und Anregung für alle in der Arbeit mit Inhaftierten und vor allem deren Angehörigen geben.

- Abstract
It has long been known that the pathway through the criminal justice system for those with mental health needs is fraught with difficulty. This interdisciplinary collection explores key issues in mental health, crime and criminal justice, including: offenders'rights; intervention designs; desistance; health-informed approaches to offending and the medical needs of offenders; psychological jurisprudence, and; collaborative and multi-agency practice. This volume draws on the knowledge of professionals and academics working in this field internationally, as well as the experience of service users. It offers a solution-focused response to these issues, and promotes both equality and quality of experience for service users. It will be essential reading for practitioners, scholars and students with an interest in forensic mental health and criminal justice.

- Abstract
Seit rund zwei Jahrzehnten wird die Soziale Arbeit immer wieder mit der Frage konfrontiert, wie sich die Wirkungen ihrer Arbeit nachweisen lassen. Die wissenschaftlich fundierte Soziale Arbeit muss sich zu diesem Thema positionieren – nicht zuletzt weil die Zuweisung finanzieller Ressourcen zunehmend davon abhängt. Durch die Darstellung der Potenziale und Grenzen der Evidenzbasierung vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher Handlungsfelder leistet dieses Buch einen wertvollen Beitrag zu dieser Diskussion.

- Abstract
An unrelenting prison boom, marked by stark racial disparities, pulled a disproportionate number of young black men into prison in the last forty years. In Children of the Prison Boom, Sara Wakefield and Christopher Wildeman draw upon broadly representative survey data and interviews to describe the devastating effects of America's experiment in mass incarceration on a generation of vulnerable children tied to these men. In so doing, they show that the effects of mass imprisonment may be even greater on the children left behind than on the men who were locked up. Parental imprisonment has been transformed from an event affecting only the unluckiest of children-those with parents seriously involved in crime-to one that is remarkably common, especially for black children. This book documents how, even for children at high risk of problems, paternal incarceration makes a bad situation worse, increasing mental health and behavioral problems, infant mortality, and child homelessness. Pushing against prevailing understandings of and research on the consequences of mass incarceration for inequality among adult men, these harms to children translate into large-scale increases in racial inequalities. Parental imprisonment has become a distinctively American way of perpetuating intergenerational inequality-one that should be placed alongside a decaying public education system and concentrated disadvantage in urban centers as a factor that disproportionately touches, and disadvantages, poor black children. More troubling, even if incarceration rates were reduced dramatically in the near future, the long-term harms of our national experiment in the mass incarceration of marginalized men are yet to be fully revealed. Optimism about current reductions in the imprisonment rate and the resilience of children must therefore be set against the backdrop of the children of the prison boom-a lost generation now coming of age.

'Erziehungs- und Bildungspartnerschaften'im Spannungsfeld von Schule, Jugendhilfe und Familie sind derzeit nicht optimal gelöst. Trotz vorhandener Praxis und teilweise langer Traditionen im Bereich der Elternarbeit mangelt es in Deutschland an modernen Konzepten zur Kooperation mit Eltern in der Bildungs- und Erziehungsarbeit. Dieses'Praxisbuch'bietet in einer Vielzahl von Portraits einen tiefen Einblick in gelingende Elternarbeit, der ein Spektrum vom Eltern-Baby-Kurs über die Elternarbeit in der Kita und der Schule bis hin zu Eltern-Kompetenz-Trainings und Elternbriefen eröffnet. Der Band versteht sich auch als Ergänzung zu dem Grundlagenband zu Erziehungs- und Bildungspartnerschaften, indem er in Orientierung an Lebensphasen und Feldern der Elternarbeiten vielfältige Programme darstellt und ganz konkrete Programmprofile gelingender Kooperationsarbeit sichtbar macht.

'Erziehungs- und Bildungspartnerschaften'im Spannungsfeld von Schule, Jugendhilfe und Familie sind derzeit nicht optimal gelöst. Vielmehr befindet sich das Thema auf einem eher dürftigen Entwicklungsstand - vor allem im internationalen Vergleich. Dieser Grundlagenband zeichnet die zentralen Diskurslinien der derzeitigen Debatte um Erziehungs-und Bildungspartnerschaften nach, stellt die wissenschaftlichen und fachlichen Hintergründe vor und erörtert die zugrunde liegenden Strukturen. Die Beiträge der namhaften Autoren dieses Bandes sind anschlussfähig an die begonnene Debatte um Gesamtkonzepte im Sinne von „Präventions- und Bildungsketten“, um lokale Bildungslandschaften und übergreifende Netzwerkkonzepte. Das Buch gibt aber auch einen ersten Einblick in Konzepte und Handlungsfelder auf dem Weg in eine gelingende Praxis.

- Abstract
This book describes the concept of child victimization in all its facets. Millions of young people throughout the world face violence, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and exploitation on a daily basis. The worldwide victimization of young people can be prevented, or, at least, its incidence can be greatly reduced, if purposeful action is taken to do so. This volume researches and documents some of the ways in which young people throughout the world are victimized, and suggests strategies for preventing various forms of child vistimization. Eight distinct forms of victimization are identified and analyzed in detail. Included are discussions on child prostitution and pornography, economic exploitation through child labor and trafficking, physical and other abuse inflicted on young people in schools and other institutions, the use of children as armed combatants, and the denial of the basic needs and rights of children to such things as home and to education. In each chapter the authors discuss the nature of the victimization, its global dimensions and prevalence, and the measures governments and/or others are taking, or failing to take, to combat the harm based on the concept that youth victimization is a form of government crime.

Die Lebensphase'Jugend'wird häufig mit Defiziten, Störungen und riskanten Verhaltensweisen assoziiert. Besondere mediale und politische Aufmerksamkeit erhalten Jugendliche dann, wenn sie mit strafrechtsrelevantem Verhalten in Erscheinung treten. In diesen publizistisch-politischen Kontexten stoßen kriminologische und sozialpädagogische Befunde und Erkenntnisse häufig auf wenig Interesse. Dieses Handbuch thematisiert daher zentrale Felder der aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung über Phänomen und Bearbeitung jugendlicher Kriminalität. Es kommen dabei ebenso konsensuelle wie strittige Befunde zur Sprache.

- Abstract
Why do people commit crimes? How can crime be prevented? And what can society and criminal justice professionals do to implement constructive responses to criminal behavior? Summarizing what he has learned about crime and criminals during his long career, one of social work's most distinguished theoreticians speculates about the factors that lead to crime and considers what we can do to prevent and respond to it meaningfully. Criminal Lessons is based on more than thirteen thousand cases in which Frederic G. Reamer has been involved as a parole board member, a role that was supplemented by his earlier experiences working in a federal correctional facility, a state penitentiary, and a forensic unit in a state psychiatric hospital. Reamer presents an original and compelling typology of crime that classifies offenders on the basis of the circumstances that led to their offenses. He isolates seven categories, tracing crime to desperation, greed, rage, revenge, frolic, addiction, or mental illness. Using actual case studies to illustrate these patterns of'criminal circumstances,'Reamer presents a model for the prevention of, and response to, crime and throughout the book offers recommendations related to social services, criminal justice, and public policy.

- Abstract
In this second edition of a classic text, the changes in the lives of women using social services and women working in them are sensitively charted with the aim of reflecting on how non-sexist women-centred practice can be nurtured and developed. Retaining its original emphasis on attitudes, values and the social welfare context, the text explores the core areas of poverty, work (including providing support for children and adults), violence and familial relationships, but with a stronger emphasis on the important diversities created by age, disability and employment, as well as by race, class and sexuality.

David Smith and David Smith
- Abstract
Criminology for Social Work critically reviews the major strands in criminological theory and research in terms of their implications for social workers in the criminal justice system. While acknowledging the complexity of the links to be made, it argues that they are able to enhance practice by making it more critical and realistic. Individual chapters discuss criminological psychology, the labelling perspective, the concentration of crime and victimisation in particular localities, the contributions of feminist criminology, and the evidence of racism in criminal justice. They also cover the connections between criminology and policy. The conclusion suggests how criminology could be enriched by feminist philosophy and psychology.
