Download or read book The Uses of Social Investment written by Anton Hemerijck and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Uses of Social Investment provides the first study of the welfare state, under the new post-crisis austerity context and associated crisis management politics, to take stock of the limits and potential of social investment. It surveys the emergence, diffusion, limits, merits, and politics of social investment as the welfare policy paradigm for the 21st century, seen through the lens of the life-course contingencies of the competitive knowledge economy and modern family-hood. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field, the volume revisits the intellectual roots and normative foundations of social investment, surveys the criticisms that have leveled against the social investment perspective in theory and policy practice, and presents empirical evidence of social investment progress together with novel research methodologies for assessing socioeconomic 'rates of return' on social investment. Given the progressive, admittedly uneven, diffusion of the social investment policy priorities across the globe, the volume seeks to address the pressing political question as to whether the social investment turn is able to withstand the fiscal austerity backlash that has re-emerged in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nederland kent internationaal gezien een laag suïcidecijfer, namelijk 1.500 suïcides per jaar. Toch is elke suïcide er een te veel. Met dit boek willen de auteurs een bijdrage leveren aan de terugdringing van suïcides. Suïcidepreventie in de praktijk richt zich primair op wat je moet doen: welke vragen stel je, hoe stel je ze, wanneer en aan wie, hoe zorg je voor continuïteit, waar moet je op letten etc. De onderwerpen variëren van de onderkenning van suïcidale jongeren op school tot de behandeling van de chronisch suïcidale patiënt. Er worden preventief georiënteerde programma's beschreven, handvatten geboden voor de opvang van suïcidepogers in het ziekenhuis en crisisinterventie, maar ook de hulp aan nabestaanden van een suïcide komt aan bod. Ook besteden de auteurs aandacht aan specifieke groepen zoals verslaafden, mensen met een persoonlijkheidsstoornis en ouderen met een doodswens. Daarnaast behandelen zij praktische methoden als cognitief-gedragstherapeutische interventies, interventies vanuit de dialectische gedragstherapie en de aanpak van dwangmatig piekeren over zelfdoding. Dit praktijkboek bevat vele gevalsbeschrijvingen.

Download or read book Handling Societal Complexity written by Dorien DeTombe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook for the Methodology of Societal Complexity describes the theoretical development of the field and lays the foundation for the application of the Compram Methodology in the context of addressing complex societal problems. As such, it offers a valuable resource for scientists, practitioners, politicians, master and PhD students in the fields of methodology, the social sciences, operational research, management and political science and for all others who are professionally involved in handling complex societal problems. These problems are the kind that fill the front page of quality newspapers; they have a huge impact on society, involve a variety of phenomena and actors, and are therefore difficult to handle. The structured Compram Methodology provides sound guidelines for handling real-life societal problems democratically, sustainably and transparently. Examples of the use of the Compram Methodology are provided in the domain of global safety with regard to healthcare, economics, climate change, terrorism, large city problems, large technological projects and floods. Complex societal problems must be treated as multi-disciplinary, multi-actor, multi-level and often as multi-continental issues. As such, they call for a multi-disciplinary and multi-actor approach that takes into account the emotional aspects of the problem and the problem handling process, including the micro, meso and macro level, which can be accomplished using the methods, models and tools from the field of the Methodology of Societal Complexity. The Compram Methodology improves the problem handling process and increases the quality of interventions and therefore the quality of life. Handling complex societal problems can reduce conflicts, save money and ultimately even save lives. Dorien J. DeTombe is an internationally recognized expert and founder of the Theory of the Methodology of Societal Complexity and the Compram Methodology.

Download or read book Prostitution in the Netherlands Since the Lifting of the Brothel Ban written by A. Daalder and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the autumn of 2000, the general ban on brothels was lifted. This amendment of the law legalised the exploitation of prostitution, provided that it involved prostitutes of age who are doing the work voluntarily (and possess a valid residence permit). Now that the law has been changed, the question is whether or not the practice has changed during recent years as well. What is the current position of the prostitutes? What is the situation regarding the punishable forms of the exploitation of prostitution? And what can be said about the enforcement of and compliance with the rules within the prostitution sector? To answer these questions, different institutes carried out three sub-studies. In these studies, a large number of prostitutes, business owners, key informants, social workers, and representatives of municipalities and various organisations were interviewed. This overall report presents the most important, combined results of the sub-studies. It sketches the situation within the Dutch prostitution sector as it was in 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding of how to reduce risk factors for mental disorders has expanded remarkably as a result of recent scientific advances. This study, mandated by Congress, reviews those advances in the context of current research and provides a targeted definition of prevention and a conceptual framework that emphasizes risk reduction. Highlighting opportunities for and barriers to interventions, the book draws on successful models for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, injuries, and smoking. In addition, it reviews the risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse and dependence, depressive disorders, and conduct disorders and evaluates current illustrative prevention programs. The models and examination provide a framework for the design, application, and evaluation of interventions intended to prevent mental disorders and the transfer of knowledge about prevention from research to clinical practice. The book presents a focused research agenda, with recommendations on how to develop effective intervention programs, create a cadre of prevention researchers, and improve coordination among federal agencies.
