Simon Bear, Mollie, Gwen, Baby Bear, Arthur, and Benjamin Bear are “proper” bears made from soft mohair fabric with moveable joints and growlers by Helen, the owner of the gift shop. Though the bears were made to sell, Helen falls in love with their characters and she realises she can’t let them go! So the bears live together on the top shelf in the gift shop where they yearn to be involved in life “outside.” Suspicions arise when chocolates go missing from the cabinet, and when Helen opens the shop in the morning the bears seem to have swapped places on the shelf. In the story you can find out how the bears get out through the shop window for their adventures in and around the town. Prepare yourselves for some “ups and downs” as you read about the predicaments Baby Bear gets into (the other bears are always around to help out), and get to know Arthur before he sets off on his travels!

Controversial Issues In Prisons

By: Scott, David,Codd, Helen

Controversial Issues in Prisons is a textbook designed to explore eight of the most controversial aspects of imprisonment in England and Wales today. It is primarily a book about the people who are sent to prison and what happens to them when inside. Each chapter examines a different dimension of the prison population and draws upon the sociological imagination to make connections between the personal troubles and vulnerabilities of those incarcerated with wider structural divisions which plague the society we live in. The book investigates controversies surrounding the incarceration of people with mental health problems, women, children, foreign nationals, offenders’ with suicidal ideation, sex offenders, drug takers and the collateral consequences of incarceration on prisoners' families. Each chapter on these eight substantive topics shares a common structure and answers the following key questions: How have people conceptualised this penal controversy? What does the official data tell us and what are its limitations? What is its historical context? What are the contemporary policies of the Prison Service? Are they legitimate and, if not, what are the alternatives? Ultimately the authors argue that in combination these controversial issues raise fundamental concerns about the legitimacy of the confinement project and the kind of society in which it is deemed essential. The book concludes with a discussion of why it remains important to make penal controversies visible, challenge penological illiteracy and provide alternative means of responding to human wrongdoing rooted in the principles of human rights and social justice.

Minority Rights Protection in International Law

The Roma of Europe

Minority Rights Protection in International Law

The Roma of Europe

By: Helen O'Nions

There are approximately ten million Roma in Europe, making them the continent’s largest non-territorial minority. Despite this fact, the Roma continue to experience routine discrimination and marginalization in European countries. As a result they are seldom engaged in national political activism and are frequently at the bottom of the economic and social ladder. The severity of exclusion experienced by the Roma in societies which have long paid heed to the notion of individual, universal human rights - combined with their geographical dispersal and heterogeneous nature - makes the study of the Roma highly informative. This book examines the theoretical debate concerning the most appropriate way of protecting the fundamental human rights of the Roma, which also illuminates ways in which the rights of minority groups can be protected more generally. As a result, this work will be a valuable resource for social scientists and practitioners in the field of human rights.

Occupational Strain and Efficacy in Human Service Workers

Occupational Strain and Efficacy in Human Service Workers

When the Rescuer Becomes the Victim

By: M. Dollard,Helen R. Winefield,A. Winefield

Workers in the human services face some of society's most challenging situations every day. Poverty, violence, mental illness, addiction and self-harm - experienced on an intimate scale - are all part of an expected routine along with constant administrative and technical workloads. Human service workers' decisions affect the lives of some of society's most disadvantaged: children, poor, the aged and those in secure care. These workers have to decide whether or not to remove children from their parents, who should receive scant resources, and how best to counsel people in severe difficulty, including domestic violence and abusive situations. This book shows how one large human service organisation systematically investigated the occupational strain and efficacy of its workforce, leading to a rational intervention plan which was broadly supported by management and workers alike. It is an essential text for those involved in the development of human service policy and the management of social workers, counsellors, youth workers, and psychologists. Human service practitioners and those interested in organisational development and in the engineering of a human service work environment, that is both healthy and productive, will also find the book of immense value. Using a participatory action research design, this book fills a gap in the literature, exploring both academic and local theory in the development of an intervention plan to reduce occupational strain, and enhance efficacy.
