{"product_id":"governing-families-rosalind-edwards-9780367530723","title":"Governing Families: Problematising Technologies in Social Welfare and Criminal Justice","description":"This book provides a focused discussion of how families are governed through technologies. It shows how states attempt to influence, shape and govern families as both the source of and solution to a range of social problems including crime. \u003cp\u003eThe book critically reviews family governance in contemporary neo-liberal society, notably through technologies of self-responsibilisation, biologisation, and artificial intelligence. The book draws attention to the poor working class and racialised families that often are marked out and evaluated as culpable, dysfunctional, and a threat to economic and social order, obscuring the structural inequalities that underpin family lives and discriminations that are built into the tools that identify and govern families.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFilling a gap where disciplinary perspectives cross-cut, this book brings together sociological and criminological perspectives to provide a unique cross-disciplinary approach to the topic. It will be of interest to researchers, scholars and lecturers studying sociology and criminology, as well as policy-makers and professionals working in the fields of early years and family intervention programmes, including in social work, health, education, and the criminologically-relevant professions such as police and probation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosalind Edwards, Pamela Ugwudike\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367530724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367530723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Rosalind Edwards","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44616604909823,"sku":"9780367530723","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cbfcae26-2a0f-49c0-bd5e-2a8ee6d5a096.jpg?v=1703021269","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-families-rosalind-edwards-9780367530723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
