The book examines the history, rationale and implications of the current position, concluding that the balance of power is weighted in favour of the State. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Limits of State Power \u0026amp; Private Rights\u003c\/em\u003e is ground-breaking in its approach to the subject and its detailed, critical analysis. Traditionally the subject matter of the book is considered within a welfare framework. The analysis in this book argues that a policing agenda is embedded within policy but without appropriate safeguards and controls, creating potentially irreconcilable tension described by the author as the 'welfare\/policing dichotomy'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is of importance to academics, lawyers, social workers, policy makers, practitioners and service users. The book is written so as to be accessible to a multi-disciplinary audience, but is sufficiently detailed so as to be suitable for specialists and non-specialists alike in this subject area. The chapters include introductory and contextual sections as well as doctrinal, theoretical and socio-legal analysis. Although the focus is on the English system, the book is equally applicable to the many worldwide jurisdictions adopting the Anglo\/American 'child rights' based framework of child protection. It is also of use as a comparative work in countries where a family support based system is practiced. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Devine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367075598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367075590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Lauren Devine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086495133951,"sku":"9780367075590","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2fd2de5-96cb-4564-9974-67e36f90c9e6.jpg?v=1769094993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-limits-of-state-power-lauren-devine-9780367075590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
