Produktbeschreibung
This book is highly relevant to new legislation and the current political agenda, and will prove an eye-opening read for policymakers and practitioners in the fields of child care and criminology, social workers, and students of social work, social policy and criminology.
It begins by analysing past research, critically examining current policy and combining theoretical insights from the disciplines of childcare and criminology in order to form a theoretical framework for research. The empirical evidence of thirty-nine interviews with young people who have been through the care system is then drawn upon to highlight key findings and conclusions about the relationship between care and crime, and the implications towards current policy. Addressing issues such as: - the residential care experience - developing secure attachments in the context of care - experiences of education - life after care, These powerful examples show the flaws, failures and successes of the various childcare services by offering insight into the reality of young peoples experiences. - Unprecedented government attention towards young people in care makes this title highly topical. - New Perspective - A wealth of new material has been published relating to aspects of public care system, however the relationship between care and crime remains neglected. - Forward-Looking - Offers pointers to future research, and recommendations for policy and practice in an increasingly dynamic current policy climate.
