Sociology for Social Workers and Probation Officers provides an introduction to sociological ideas and research and considers the relevance and application of these ideas and concepts to practice.
The book begins by describing the main theoretical perspectives in sociology by examining these theories and ideas as they relate to key areas of social work and probation practice, including:
*family
*childhood and youth
*community and caring
*crime.

In the final section, a suggested framework for sociological practice in social work and probation is presented. Encouraging readers to develop critical awareness and reach their own judgements about the usefulness and implications of holding certain conceptual positions.
