Vulnerability and Young People: Care and Social Control in Policy and Practice
Autor Kate Brownen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2016
Policies to assist or protect vulnerable youth play a crucial role in welfare and criminal justice processes, but what role does the discourse surrounding these policies play in how they are put into action? Bringing together real-life examples with academic and practical applications, this book explores the implications of a “vulnerability zeitgeist” in policy and practice. It draws on in-depth research with marginalized young people and the professionals who support them to question whether the rise of the concept of vulnerability serves the interests of those who are most disadvantaged. Vulnerability and Young People will be important reading for scholars, students, and policy makers interested in the care and protection of young people.

Recenzii
“What Brown reveals is a complex process of judgements about vulnerability, being shaped by moral and personal preferences, organizational classifications, wider service delivery pressures, and gendered dimensions. However, her book’s central focus is an analysis of the life stories of the vulnerable young people themselves. . . . What the book does brilliantly is to give them voice, while revealing the complex adversities and multiple disadvantages they face as well as the interventions and factors that the young people considered to be helpful for them.”
“Through a careful, theoretically rigorous analysis, Brown interrogates policy directives and practices that have seemingly championed the rights and needs of vulnerable citizens.”
“A really illuminating book on the contentious notion of vulnerability, and it should be read, debated, and brought to bear on service design and development.”
“A unique and compelling account of the implications of a ‘vulnerability zeitgeist’ and an important contribution to an area of public policy that is not as benign as it can appear.”
“Innovative, beautifully written, well researched, and eloquently argued. Finally a book that subjects the concept of ‘vulnerability’ to robust academic scrutiny, particularly in terms of the rise of its use to justify almost any type of intervention with children and young people. A must read for anyone interested in young people and social policy.”
“This insightful and timely book by Kate Brown is an excellent addition to new, critical, qualitative research that explores and questions key issues in social policy.”
“This essential book offers a groundbreaking study of the lived experience of vulnerability and its increasing importance to welfare and criminal justice systems, exploring fundamental questions of deservingness, human agency, care, governance, and social control.”
