Gender and Family

90 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This Byte offers readers insight into some of the central debates and questions about gender and the family, examined through the lens of moral panic. It begins with an overview of the part played by moral panics, together with an appraisal of the work of Stanley Cohen, one of the chief architects of moral panic ideas. Drawing on research and practice examples from different parts of the world, it explores interconnections between gender, class, 'race' and age, and interrogates the role of the state (and social work) in intervening in family life.
