Editorial Reviews

'...this is a book that makes a major contribution to sociological and social work knowledge. Sadly, there are few of us whose books will be read in 100 years, but I am prepared to wager a bet that this is one book that will be.' -Dr. Helen Cosis Brown, Principal Lecturer in Social Work, Middlesex University, British Journal of Social Work
