Perspektiv på sociala problem har sedan den kom ut första gången blivit en av grundpelarna inom svensk utbildning i socialt arbete. Boken går igenom ett brett spektrum av teorier om sociala problem, där såväl samhälleliga strukturer som grupper, organisationer och individer uppmärksammas. Hur kan man till exempel förstå fattigdom, missbruk, prostitution, våldshandlingar med rasistiska förtecken, kvinnomisshandel och stökiga barn? Ska man söka förklaringar i samhället eller hos den enskilda individen?I denna andra omarbetade utgåva av Perspektiv på sociala problem har alla kapitel uppdaterats och ett par nyskrivna kapitel har tillkommit. Sociala problem relateras nu också till aktuella globala frågor som kapital- och folkomflyttningar, en ökande ekonomisk ojämlikhet, klimatförändringar och tillväxtkritik. I ljuset av dagens krav på att all professionell verksamhet ska vara kunskapsbaserad analyserar och särskiljer författarna olika typer av kunskap som socialarbetaren har att tillgå, och introducerar i detta sammanhang en ny form av realism.Boken riktar sig till studerande i samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen på universitet och högskola men också till yrkesverksamma inom socialt arbete, vård och andra sektorer av det samhällspolitiska området som journalister, politiker och tjänstemän i offentlig administration.

First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Narrative Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series.Narrative research has become a catchword in the social sciences today, promising new fields of inquiry and creative solutions to persistent problems. This book brings together ideas about narrative from a variety of contexts across the social sciences and synthesizes understandings of the field. Rather than focusing on theory, it examines how narrative research is conducted and applied. It operates as a practical introductory guide, basic enough for first-time researchers, but also as a window onto the more complex questions and difficulties that all researchers in this area face. The authors guide readers through current debates about how to obtain and analyse narrative data, about the nature of narrative, the place of the researcher, the limits of researcher interpretations, and the significance of narrative work in applied and in broader political contexts.This new edition includes updated references and a greater focus on digitality throughout. It addresses social justice and decoloniality more explicitly, centrally and consistently, drawing on examples around Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate change and Extinction Rebellion, and Covid and pandemic narratives.

Boken är en viktimologisk antologi skriven av forskare verksamma vid olika universitet, högskolor och myndigheter. Den lyfter fram flera problem som är kopplade till brottsoffer och belyser dem utifrån både individuella och strukturella perspektiv. Vi visar hur begreppet brottsoffer skapas i olika sammanhang, vi problematiserar brottsofferskapet och brottsofferstödet samt belyser brottsoffrens möte med rättsväsendet.I boken presenteras aktuell forskning med betoning på teori och metod. Boken tar bland annat upp sexualbrott, hatbrott mot muslimer, grooming på internet, gärningspersoner som utsätts för brott och barn som bevittnat våld. Den tar även upp arbetsrelaterat våld, brott mot äldre och mot unga, mediers beskrivningar av brottsoffer samt innehåller ett kapitel skrivet strax efter terrordåden i Oslo och Utøya.Boken kan användas i undervisning på universitet och högskolor men riktar sig även till en bredare publik med intresse för brottsofferfrågor och kan vara av intresse för studenter inom kriminologi, sociologi, psykologi, juridik, statsvetenskap och socialt arbete. Den kan också läsas av studenter i medievetenskap, journalistik, statsvetenskap och genusvetenskap samt vara till nytta på polisutbildningar. Boken riktar sig även till dig som är forskningsmässigt intresserad av viktimologi, arbetar professionellt med brottsoffer eller känner ett personligt engagemang för brottsoffer.Författare: Ulf Borelius, Nils Christie, Görel Granström, Stig Grundvall, Anita Heber, Margareta Hydén, Håkan Jönson, Carina Ljungwald, Cecilia Hansen Löfstrand, Bo Nilsson, Anna Rypi, Annika af Sandeberg, David Shannon, Annelie Siring, Eva Tiby, Sara Uhnoo, Ulla-Britt Wennerström, Lisa Westfelt, Sofia Wikman och Malin Åkerström.
