This will make for informative and inspiring reading to all thoseinvolved in educating our children and young people. The new edition has been revised and updated and now also includes access to an interactive website packed with a host of extra material to take you further. Trade ReviewI cannot speak highly enough of Classroom Behaviour. All educators will identify with the situations Bill describes. He does not duck the realities in today’s schools and classrooms. He provides clear guidance for putting professional integrity and emotional literacy into practice from early, minimal intervention to responding to the most difficult student and the most challenging situation. Every teacher needs this book, and every student needs them to have read it. -- Sue RoffeyNow in its third edition, Classroom Behaviour owes much of its success to the realism of its scenarios and case studies, and the lessons and advice that the author draws from them. He gives us forensic deconstruction and analysis, often with dialogue, of every conceivable classroom issue, challenge and potential crisis. There is much on language - tone, choice of words, and body language - reminding us just how easily we can undermine our intentions by the way we convey them. This new edition has additional material on bullying, teaching autism spectrum disorder children in mainstream schools, and working with challenging students. -- Gerald HaighThe scenarios are real and relatable, the feelings and reflections honest, and the problem-solving strategies and interventions realistic. All teachers, teacher-researchers, professional leaders, and educationalists will benefit from contemplating and putting into practice the suggestions and guidance in this book and their students and colleagues may thank them too. -- Sandi Tait-McCutcheonTable of ContentsIntroduction: I never thought I′d become a teacher Chapter 1: The dynamics of classroom behaviour Chapter 2: New class, new year - the establishment phase of behaviour management Chapter 3: The language of behaviour management and discipline Chapter 4: Effective teaching - fundamental understanding and skills Chapter 5: Management beyond the classroom - behaviour consequences Chapter 6: Challenging children and children with emotional and behavioural difficulties Chapter 7: Managing behaivour in ourselves and others Chapter 8: When things get difficult - hard class, hard times

Book SynopsisOur bestselling social work textbook is back again. Taking you right back to basics, this book explains and analyses key theories in a really accessible way before going on to discuss, in detail, how theory can be incorporated into every day social work practice. Each chapter contains activities with step-by-step commentaries for discussion, self-analysis and critical reflection. The book very loosely follows the shape of a human life, beginning with a birth and ending with a death, but many of the chapters deal with ideas and topics that are relevant at many different stages of life, such as bereavement, attachment and learning. Its focus throughout is on psychosocial development – so psychological development within a social context – rather than physical development. This book is by Chris Beckett, a social work academic and novelist who previously worked in child and family social work, and Hilary Taylor, a psychotherapist and former social work academic who used to work in the field of social work with adults. It is the go-to guide for anyone studying for careers in the helping professions, such as nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, teachers and counsellors. It′s also supported by an online case study resource. Follow the lives of people living in the fictional London Borough of Bexford, with 12 extended case studies to help you explore key issues and themes raised in the book as well as develop the skill of linking theory to practice.Table of ContentsChapter 1: The Birth of a Human Being: What makes us who we are?

It is written in an engaging way which, along with the helpful summary boxes and study questions, means that it is an accessible companion text for students on a large variety of criminology, sociology and youth focused modules. This new edition makes important links to more recent literature on developments in this field of study, meaning that this textbook remains a key book for anyone studying or teaching in this area. -- Andrew WooffLong-established as the most authoritative text on young people, crime and criminal justice, the new edition of John Muncie’s Youth and Crime is everything we have come to expect. Historically-informed, theoretically-engaged, full of empirical detail, and with a scholar’s critical eye for the placing major developments within their wider political, social and economic context. And all delivered in a style which neither simplifies nor over-complicates. No other book on the subject comes close. -- Tim NewburnThe 5th edition of John Muncie′s Youth and Crime is an important resource for lecturers, students, as well as criminal justice practitioners. The legacy of John Muncie’s work is underpinned by a text that is accessible, informative, and more importantly, relevant for exploring and examining the complex and messy nature of youth crime. In this expanded edition, there are welcome new additions giving the overall feel of the text a fresh appeal, whilst at the same responding to the shifting nature of ‘youth crime’ internationally. John Muncie has proven yet again, that positioned texts such as the 5th edition of Youth and Crime is a key driver that dovetails itself within the understanding of the wider criminal justice system. -- Dr Martin GlynnJohn Muncie’s Youth and Crime is an excellent and comprehensive analysis of youth justice. The fifth edition is updated and expanded with a new dedicated section on policing and risk management. This is a theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded book. It confronts essential issues so often missing in books on youth justice including (to name only a few examples), climate justice, global justice, comparative youth justice, child slavery, trafficking and refugees. This is a cutting-edge work for students, academics and practitioners alike. Chris Cunneen, University of Technology Sydney. -- Chris CunneenThis edition of Youth and Crime includes new material and takes the depth and scope of key debates about the shape and direction of youth justice still further. The book is a tour de force in terms of its coverage of patterns of crime committed by young people, responses to youth crime, theories regarding youth crime, and policy and practice developments both nationally and comparatively, drawing on international developments to highlight some of the fault-lines within conceptions of ‘the youth crime problem’ within the UK and to introduce new visions. Above all, the book prompts critical scrutiny of assumptions and governmental actions. Informed by the latest research in the field, this is an authoritative and accessible book; it is a fantastic teaching and learning resource. -- Professor Loraine GelsthorpeThis new edition reaffirms the book’s position as the go-to-text for a critical understanding of all aspects of youth and crime. Professor Muncie covers many perspectives – criminological, cultural, historical, political, and sociological, in an accessible style and comprehensive manner. The extended/new sections on developmental and life course theories, and policing, prevention and risk management, along with other key updates, ensure it remains an essential resource for anyone interested in this important sphere of criminology. -- Dr Annette Robertson John Muncie’s text reasserts the core contradictions at the heart of the interconnected issues of youth and crime and does so in an engaging and accessible way. This well-constructed and thoughtful book continues to be the leading text for students, researchers and academics’ alike studying this complex area. This new edition succeeds in the difficult task of improving an already exceptional textbook. -- Dr Rachel VipondJohn Muncie is a leading international researcher in the related fields of youth criminology and youth justice studies and Youth and Crime goes a long way towards setting the agenda. The unique balance between authoritative scholarship and accessibility makes the book a vital resource for researcher, teacher and student alike. In fact, it is almost impossible to imagine engaging with the study of young people, crime and criminalisation without reading Muncie’s remarkable text. -- Professor Barry Goldson, The University of LiverpoolTable of ContentsChapter 1: Images of Youth and Crime Chapter 2: Histories of Youth and Crime Chapter 3: Explaining Youth Crime I: Positivist Criminologies Chapter 4: Explaining Youth Crime II: Developmental and Life Course Theories Chapter 5: Explaining Youth Crime III: Radical and Realist Criminologies Chapter 6: Youth Victimology Chapter 7: Youth Cultures, Cultural Studies and Cultural Criminology Chapter 8: Youth and Social Policy: Control, Regulation and Governance Chapter 9: Youth Justice Strategies I: Welfare and Justice Chapter 10: Youth Justice Strategies II: Policing, Prevention and Risk Management Chapter 11: Youth Justice Strategies III: Custody, Punishment and Rights Chapter 12: Comparative and International Youth Justice

Trade ReviewA friendly, accessible book to reawaken students’ latent maths knowledge. Written by a non-maths specialist, this book clearly shows students the importance of some of the core maths skills that they learnt in school and how those skills are at the heart of introductory data literacy. Using real world applied examples, this book will get them building confidence and competence with their numeracy skills, so often a barrier to students learning statistics and quantitative methods. -- Julie Scott Jones Having read through the book, in my opinion I think it is an excellent learning aid for introductory statistics. While some people may argue it is too simplistic to begin with, I disagree as students who come into university are not always straight out of school, some have never done statistics before or have not done it for several years and my simplifying it down to the bear basics, I feel the book provides a base to refresh the memory of students of which stats is a new concept. For students of which the concept of statistics comes naturally or is not a new concept to, they may not need this book as the lectures/course notes may be sufficient to learn the content. However, with this book acting as a learning assistant, students who struggle with maths have the opportunity to buy the book to guide them through the course and assist with their learning. ? I highly recommend this book, I think it has been well put together and would have loved to have the option of having this book during my stats course. Everyone learns differently, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and in my opinion, in today′s world there is no such thing as ′too simple′. -- Shaun OliverRhys′ book on data analysis and quantitative methods is made easy for statistics aspirants! This book has made essential numeracy and quantitative skills so clear and easy to understand. In particular, the themes and data sets from different countries made my learning journey interesting. The case studies, exercises and visual aids provided in the book helped me improve my data analysis and interpretation skills, and sparked my interest in pursuing a statistics degree. If you are a returning student to university or statistics aspirant, I will certainly recommend this book to enrich your numeracy and data analysis skills. -- Lakshmi NarayananSome excellent and sustained work by Rhys Jones and colleagues at Cardiff underpins this book.
