This book explores the growing interest in the way in which the
state polices, and ought to police, families failing in their
responsibilities.
- Reflects on the increasing social science research and growing
legal system involvement in the ‘problem’ of failing
families particularly where children are involved
- Considers topics ranging from the state’s attempts to
promote responsible parenting by training parents and by punishing
them and their children for their children’s antisocial
behaviour through to its enthusiasm for creating frameworks for
better substituted parenting (through fostering and adoption)
- Evaluates problems from the perspective of both empirical
evidence and the practical and ideological ambitions that
government policy is attempting to pursue
- Brings together commentators from a variety of disciplines who all offer a fresh critique on these matters
