{"product_id":"case-of-neglect-1996","title":"Case of Neglect? (1996)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1996, this book advocates and persuasively exemplifies a qualitative sociology of childhood, spoken repeatedly through children’s voices. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a long period of dormancy, interest in the sociology of childhood became a focus of attention and scholarly interest. Developments in practice by professionals working and learning in the fields of welfare, education, and youth and community studies have been paralleled by the emergence of specialist courses within sociology degrees. Yet the challenges raised by the sociology of childhood remain marginalised within the social sciences more generally. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Case of Neglect?\u003c\/i\u003e provides an accessible reader and review of the field. Heard wherever possible through children’s and young people’s voices, it provides a penetrating insight into their understandings and experiences of their own and adults’ worlds. It also provides a readable and absorbing review of qualitative applications in the sociology of childhood, and a counter to the common reliance on evidence derived from quantitative approaches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fieldwork applications range across the often hidden worlds of children’s and young people’s involvement in prostitution, their experience of abuse, black children’s experiences of social services, children’s school cultures, naturist children and childlessness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways arresting and sometimes poignant, \u003ci\u003eA Case of Neglect?\u003c\/i\u003e works towards a sociology which is both of and for childhood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as part of the \u003ci\u003eCardiff Papers in Qualitative Research\u003c\/i\u003e series edited by Paul Atkinson, Sara Delamont and Amanda Coffey. The series publishes original sociological research that reflects the tradition of qualitative and ethnographic inquiry developed at Cardiff. The series includes monographs reporting on empirical research, edited collections focussing on particular themes, and texts discussing methodological developments and issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242650259800,"sku":"9780815347859","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780815347859.jpg?v=1777671921","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/case-of-neglect-1996","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
