Coaching And Mentoring Young People - Youth Work For Transformative Growth

de Luke Jones e Tina Salter

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Much has been written about coaching and mentoring. However, the focus has tended to be on business or professional development, with limited references to young people or youth work. Addressing this need, this unique text combines rigorous research with practical advice to examine coaching and mentoring in youth work, highlighting the purpose of these interventions in supporting the transition of young people from adolescence to adulthood.Written by an academic and practitioner team, Salter and Jones address deficit-based approaches to coaching and mentoring in youth work whereby funding necessitates that those young people must demonstrate emotional and behavioural difficulties, or poor school outcomes. Prioritising strength-based approaches, this powerful resource demonstrates the power of blended facilitation and direction to better support the specific needs of young people. Equipping readers with the knowledge and skills to know when to offer directive advice and guidance, and when to step back and facilitate a conversation well and allow the young person to take more of a lead, each chapter contributes to building relational approaches for transformative growth. With topics including youth transitions and the importance of diversity, inclusivity and cultural understanding in coaching and mentoring young people, this work also explores how best to set up and run a coaching or mentoring project for young people - ethically and in line with safeguarding standards.Bridging the gap between coaching, mentoring and youth work, this is a comprehensive resource for students and practitioners working at these intersections.

Voices Of Resistance - Music, Femicide, And Gender Justice In Spain And Greece

de Alicia Castillo Villanueva e Angelos Bollas

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Voices of Resistance: Music, Femicide, and Gender Justice in Spain and Greece examines how feminist musical practices across Southern Europe confront femicide and gender-based violence through mourning, memory, and political resistance.Drawing on detailed national case studies, the book argues that in contexts marked by institutional silences, legal gaps, or patriarchal backlash, music becomes a crucial feminist tool for naming violence, honouring victims, and sustaining collective demands for justice. In Spain, a rich genealogy of feminist musical activism intersects with a robust yet contested legislative landscape functioning as emotional counter-publics that challenge antifeminist backlash and supplement the limitations of institutional responses. In Greece, where femicide lacks full legal recognition and media narratives often reproduce misogyny, music assumes an even more urgent role transforming public grief into mobilisation and forging affective publics that hold state and society accountable.Across both contexts, Voices of Resistance positions music as a vital yet incomplete mode of feminist world-making, capable of unsettling silence and imagining more just futures.

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Sovereign citizens are an anti-government movement steadily expanding across the United States and many other parts of the world. A subculture of anti-government extremists, sovereign citizens falsely deny the legitimacy of government and law, believing their interpretation of society's laws supersede all others. A much-needed introduction to Sovereign Citizen ideology in book form, this study spotlights the prevalence and scope of sovereign citizen involvement in the January 6th Capitol insurrection.The January 6th Congressional Committee reported that only two insurrectionists were sovereign citizens. Providing a more comprehensive review of their participation in the attack since that time, Christine Sarteschi draws together hours of access to court records to unveil that the correct number was much higher. Highlighting the nature of their participation in the riot, this study also details the use of sovereign citizen tactics and their interactions with court officials during the adjudication process. Addressing a topic that is underexplored yet increasingly relevant as the growth in this movement continues unabated in the United States and abroad, Sarteschi extends our knowledge of known sovereign citizen cases and also provides a practical resource for identifying and countering sovereign citizen tactics.Written for scholars and students of criminal justice, criminology, social work, psychology, forensic psychology and other related disciplines, Sovereign Citizen Ideology is crucial for understanding right wing extremism and social movements.

Researching Incels - A Critical Feminist Intervention

de Frazer Heritage, Lisa Sugiura e Stu Lucy

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 As the world wakes up to the incel problem following Netflix's Adolescence, many examples of research into incels over the past decade have been poorly conducted. Researching Incels is a crucial intervention into problematic incel research - calling for a new framework for rigorous, responsible research to inform policy on the incel crisis.A critical overview on poor research examples using the primary case study of a report commissioned by the UK Government s Commission for Countering Extremism on predicting harm among involuntary celibates, the authors outline incel research that is methodologically flawed, unreliable, and normalizes misogyny. Focusing primarily on two critical flaws of researching incels - limited conceptualization leading to poor methodology; and positionality; they write from a feminist positioned critical analysis to offer a blueprint for the future of robust incel research in response to these limitations. This rebuttal is situated at the forefront of current polarizing debates developing within the incel community emphasizing that incel research must address from a feminist perspective the underlying structural processes and ideologies that give authority and motivation to communities such as incels.A how to guide for future research, Researching Incels also provides guidance for research, practice and policy on how to approach and assess existing work, with explicit caution where research is characterized by the limitations outlined here. Breaking new ground as the first broad commentary on researching incels, this is an essential roadmap for Season Two of incel research.

Social Conflict Resolution In The Extractive Industry - Case Studies Of Licenses To Operate

de Cesar Saenz

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The extractive industry is crucial in this energy transformation age, where the world is concerned about emissions reduction and more sustainable businesses. The extractive industry has two objectives: meeting the rising demand and extracting natural resources in a sustainable way. However, the industry usually deals with community rejection and social conflicts wherever they are, and this dire situation is a barrier for new extractive projects worldwide. Understanding why social conflicts are generated and transformed into shared-value projects is crucial to designing extractive projects that consider the community's concerns and integrate these issues into the final project. In addition, getting and keeping the social license to operate (SLO) is important in the extractive industry, so companies must monitor the SLO during the operation's life cycle to prevent social conflict. That is why it is important to have a way to measure the SLO. This book presents a framework that allows companies to analyze social conflicts and propose better projects to obtain the social license to operate. It also presents a methodology for calculating the SLO that shows how the company-community relationship is going.

Financialization Of Human Shelter - The Rental Housing Crisis In A Sunbelt City

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The affordable housing crisis and its impact on a growing population is one of the most significant political and policy issues in the US and globally. The Financialization of Human Shelter examines the factors contributing to the sharp rise in rental housing costs in the US, the financialization of housing, and the consequences for tenants.Based on a public sociology research project conducted in the Sunbelt city of Jacksonville, Florida, authors Jaffee and Renzi delve into the financialization of housing in the rental housing market involving the acquisition by corporate entities of single-family and multifamily properties that are then bundled into portfolios as asset class investment opportunities for wealthy investors. Analyzing how this business model driving this trend is organized to extract the maximum amount of income from the properties and provide a healthy return to investors through the raising of rents, adding of superfluous fees, and minimizing of maintenance costs, this study shows how tenants face rising cost burdens, unsafe conditions, housing insecurity, displacement, and homelessness. Informed by a conceptual depth and rich quantitative and qualitative data, the authors assess how policy could address the affordable rental housing crisis and the need for investment in public, non-profit, housing provision protected from market forces.Highlighting the role of community-engaged, public sociology as a driver for addressing a pressing social issue, this is refreshing reading for those interested in alternative and critical analyzes of the rental housing system in the US, urban case studies, and the struggles of renters/tenants as an exploited class.

Xl Bully Ban - Impacts Of Breed Specific Legislation On Exempted Dogs And Their Caregivers

de Daniel Allen, John Walliss e Melanie Flynn

~~59,63€~~ 53,67€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In England and Wales, the controversial decision was made to add American XL Bully-type dogs to the prohibited breeds list of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. The XL Bully Ban is the first book on this topic that explores the impacts on caregivers and, uniquely, their exempted dogs.Informed by a critical review of breed-specific legislation, the authors highlight the lack of consideration of the impacts of the XL Bully ban on caregivers and exempted dogs themselves. By delving into these impacts, which include financial, emotional, practical, and quality-of-life issues, and giving voice to caregivers and companion animals, this book contributes towards building an evidence-base that can be considered in relation to future global debates. Considering alternative methods of reducing dog attacks, the authors draw out the implications of their findings for policymakers as well the wider, international debate on breed-specific legislation.The first book written on this contemporary topic, this is cutting edge reading for scholars interested in human-animal interactions, issues of species justice, sentience and victimology, breed specific legislation, and harm-reduction. It is also of interest to practitioners and advocates working with those affected by the ban, and policymakers as they consider how to respond to continued reports of dog attacks.
