Human Rights and Social Work : Towards Rights Based Practice, Paperback Book

Human Rights and Social Work : Towards Rights Based Practice Paperback

Paperback

Description

Human rights ideals are at the pinnacle of contemporary social work practice and international political discourse.

Yet in recent years, with the heightened threat of terrorism, we have begun to witness an erosion of many traditional civil liberties.

Set against this backdrop, the revised edition of Human Rights and Social Work moves beyond the limitations of conventional legal frameworks.

With customary clarity and ease of style, Jim Ife challenges the notion of the 'three generations of human rights', teasing out the conceptual problems of this approach and demonstrating how the three generations actually overlap at an intrinsic level.

Essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners alike, this book shows how an implicit understanding of human rights principles can provide a foundation for practice that is central to social work, community development and the broader human services.
