Taylor & Francis Ltd Listening to the Welfare State Welfare and
Book SynopsisListening to the Welfare State presents, for the first time in English, central research findings from recent studies of the welfare systems of Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The book's contributors are leading investigators of face-to-face encounters between welfare professionals and clients in these systems. All have collected their data through ethnographic observations as well as taped recordings of these meetings. By subjecting their data to conversation and discourse analyses, these researchers provide a richly detailed empirical picture of the various forms of talk-at-work constituting the core activity of a variety of street-level bureaucracies. Their findings provide a well-rounded body of knowledge about what happens when professionals meet persons seeking financial assistance, child protection, employment, vocational counselling, treatment, rehabilitation and related services. Essential reading for both professional and students, this book will provide a wealth of Trade Review’An exceptionally interesting and timely collection of studies about the day-to-day working of welfare systems using ethnographic, conversation and discourse analyses.’ Professor Peter Leonard, McGill University, Canada ’I am very impressed with this manuscript...innovative and informative...will be of great value to both researcher and students alike.’ Dr Tim Stainton, University of Wales, Swansea, UK ’...stands out both in terms of its commitment to methodological unity, and its broad treatment of a range of diverse welfare contexts (e.g., educational counselling, alcohol abuse, child protection, unemployment). The micro-level analyses (based on the listenings done by the researchers) have been complemented with adequate readings of the socio-historical contexts. I see this book as a future point of reference for research into welfare practices in other European regions.’ Srikant Sarangi, University of Cardiff, UK 'This volume is a welcome addition to a landscape increasingly dominated by prescriptive or narrowly focused outcome-oriented studies, which say a great deal about how things should be done, but not very much about how professionals negotiate the contingencies of their day-to-day encounters.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Radicalisation Extremism and Social Work Practice
Radicalisation, Extremism and Social Work Practice is the first book to explore cultural identity, acculturation and perceived discrimination of Muslim youth across Western countries in relation to social work, as well as the radicalisation and extremist views and actions of a small number of Muslim youth. It draws on relevant theoretical frameworks and research to examine the different approaches taken in social work practice. Some countries consider multi-agency approaches, particularly how public health practice can inform interventions and strategies. Others take a public health approach, looking for risk factors and seeking protective factors to develop suitable interventions within the communities through public engagement and partnership. As well as examining and discussing the above approaches, this book critically examines government and community-based approaches to radicalisation and extremism, and strategies for combating these.

Cambridge University Press Elements of Spatial Structure A Quantative Approach 6 Cambridge Geographical Studies Series Number 6
Book SynopsisElements of Spatial Structure is a contribution to the literature on spatial series. Written by a group with varied backgrounds in engineering, geography and statistics, who collaborated at Bristol University in the early 1970s, the book analyses certain basic properties of spatial structure. It shows how spatial elements form an essential part of the real-world problems of population distribution, of urban and regional economies, and of diffusion processes. The book is divided into three parts. Part one is concerned with a static cross-sectional approach to spatial structure and explores some aspects of the central geographical problems of region-building and trend-surface mapping. Part two moves to a dynamic framework and extends time-series analysis in a regional framework. It includes two chapters on the application of the models presented to diffusion and unemployment data in south-west England. Part three links the first two parts together through a consideration of spatial autocTable of Contents1. Introduction; Part I. Static Aspects of Regional Structure: 2.
