From the Back Cover
Ethical Issues in Youth Work presents a systematic analysis of some of the core ethical dilemmas facing youth workers in their day to day practice. Among the topics discussed are:
when to break confidentiality
the ethics of religious conversion
conflicts between cultures
balancing the autonomy and control of young people
maintaining an equilibrium between accountability to funders, employers and young people.
This book also examines some of the key challenges facing youth workers in the context of public fears of youth crime, lawlessness, drug use, teenage pregnancy and policies designed to control and contain as well as educate and care for young people.
Ethical Issues in Youth Work offers a timely and unique insight into both the perennial dilemmas of youth work practice and some of the more recent challenges faced by youth workers in the light of current public attitudes and government policy towards young people.
