Care, Community and Citizenship

Research and Practice in a Changing Policy Context

Herausgeber: Balloch, Susan; Hill, Michael

Beschreibung

This unique edited collection focuses on the relationship between social care, communities, and citizenship. The book provides a link that is relevant to both policy and practice. Care, Community and Citizenship introduces the issues and relationships, and draws on contrasting illustrations from England and Scotland. It reflects on the ethics of care and the theoretical and moral complexities to be thought through for both those receiving care and those delivering care. It includes practice-based chapters on community capacity to care, black and minority ethnic care, anti-social behavior, domestic violence, befriending, volunteering, dementia care, and home care. Care, Community and Citizenship also offers international comparisons and perspectives with chapters on Sweden, Germany, and Japan.
