Radical youth work : developing critical perspectives and professional judgement

"Writing from a tradition of informed and radical dissent, Brian Belton asks those working with young people to reassess their role and motivation and, on the basis of the radical traditions of youth work, critique the imposed forms of 'protection' (surveillance) 'welfare' (child care) 'management' (administrative fire-fighting) and pretty much formalised (didactic) instruction/advice giving. This book has been written to promote challenge and argument in the face of the increasing conformity, homogeneity and predictability within youth work theory." --Book Jacket
