The idea of security includes emotional and financial components. These interconnect so that such common concepts as 'trust' in someone and 'care taking' include both ideas of emotional and financial support. State policies on security rest on perceptions of two other institutions, the family and insurance, both of which are subject to change. At one time the extended family was seen as a major security-providing institution, but the contemporary nuclear family is more fragile. The concept of insurance originally entailed ideas of community and mutual aid; however, the institution has developed, in its modern private form, as a profit-driven entity. This book addresses various uses of state power in providing security for individuals, and outlines different ways in which this can be done.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Weisbrod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815389345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815389347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs","brand":"Carol Weisbrod","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086938681599,"sku":"9780815389347","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_248dba2a-efed-4c33-b09a-4b3acb898588.jpg?v=1769097398","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grounding-security-carol-weisbrod-9780815389347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
