Description
Risk Assessment in Social Care and Social Work makes a timely contribution to this area by reviewing key professional debates about risk, its assessment and management. The book will therefore be of interest to practitioners, managers and policy makers whose work entails a review of the decisions involved in working with vulnerable populations. The main strength of the book is the well-resourced analysis of research into risk from and to different groups.
