Description: Troublemakers : The Construction of 'Troubled Families' As a Social Problem, Paperback by Crossley, Stephen, ISBN 1447334744, ISBN-13 9781447334743, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Drawing on the muckraking sociology tradition of Gary T. Marx, this accessible study deconstructs the discourse surrounding the UK’s Troubled Families Programme and reveals misrepresentations about the program, pointing to evidence that shows that the program produced no positive changes in conditions or outcomes. The study challenges the program’s underlying assumptions that connected poor families with crime, and instead blames austerity policies and welfare reform’s impact on poor families. Th’s audience includes practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in social work, social justice, and social policy. Distributed in North America by University of Chicago Press.
