ABSTRACT Our aim is to increase knowledge about discretion and automated decision-making (ADM) in social work based on an approach that brings forward the role of humans and technologies and the resulting public values. This approach is applied to a case study of two Swedish municipalities and their social assistance case management. Our research questions are twofold: (1) How do humans and technologies appear in decisions about social assistance? and (2) How do they influence digital discretion and the resulting public values? A case management process with human actors (caseworkers and clients) and non-human actors (case management systems, e-applications, robotic process automation and algorithms) is used, influencing the digital discretion of caseworkers and the resulting ethical, democratic and professional values. Digital discretion is not dichotomous but, rather, related to a repertoire of technologies, their design and their use in a routine that ADM is a part of. The interaction with clients may be considered an important rationale for ADM itself. There is a necessary difference in weight between public values related to more straightforward (an ‘improved’ process enabling professional values) and complicating factors (distrust between caseworkers and the unwanted use of information technology).

In the second issue of 2023, we highlight child and family social work as one of the many domains in which social work as a practice and as an academic research field is active. In talking about child and family social work, the study of interventions in families, ranging from children as young as zero to young adults as old as 18, is central. The idea here is that the family is a social construct that it is coshaped by historical and societal developments. This also means that the family cannot be separated from broader social and political discussions. For example, if we look at the ideas that have shaped early childhood education as part of child and family social work we see that infant mortality, which was very high at the end of the nineteenth century and even exceeded 20%, played an important role. In itself, this was neither surprising nor new at the time. Nevertheless, more attention was suddenly paid to the health of the population, including (young) children. This was not only because of the formation of nationstates and the accompanying need for manpower for the army, among other things, but also because industrialisation ensured a lot of economic prosperity and future workers needed to be safeguarded from illness and mortality. These societal developments (the formation of nation-states and industrialisation) were eventually also invoked as a legitimisation to set up childcare initiatives because child mortality was seen as a problem occurring mainly among the poor. The childcare initiatives established by the bourgeoisie aimed to meet this and would at the same time teach the poor how best to raise their children and prepare them for later life, including labour market participation. The idea of children as future capital came around the corner for the first time here. In this issue, some of these historical and social constructions that shape child and family social work are discussed. In this way, we hope to highlight the importance of historical and societal developments for contemporary discussions and practices in social work. We wish you much reading pleasure and look forward to receiving your contribution in the near future.

Among the aims of social work is implementing measures which lead to improving people’s living conditions. The reviewed book, part of the European Social Work Education and Practice series and edited by Ana Opačić, is contributing to this aim by exploring and proposing solutions for community social work in the context of deprived communities. ‘The goal of this publication is to identify the relevant aspects of a deprived community, how they come to be and the processes underlying them, as well as illustrate practical models for social work in such communities’ (p. v.). The book responds mainly to the professional needs of social work students and early career social work practitioners and to more experienced social work practitioners, researchers and educators with a focus on interventions in deprived communities from a community development perspective. The book is divided into four parts and totals 13 chapters. It is the result of international collaboration there are 19 authors, some of them contributing to more than one chapter. The main ideas of each chapter are presented below. The first part of the book comprises three chapters. Two of them are written by Ana Opačić:

to separate a nation from nationalism. When we turn to the publication, it is valuable to evidence how professionals are working – though they are attacked as protagonists of multiculturalism. The publication covers a broad range of crucial questions: how to deal with mixed integration in Italy? How to use clinical psychology to explore integration capacities? How to deal with trust, identity, and the mediator’s role? Moreover, the anthology presents a number of interesting case studies with respect to language, multicultural contexts and so on. In fact, a plethora of important issues to learn from. Three contributions deal with trafficking (apparently an increasing issue, which is often forgotten or at least underestimated). Sofija Georgievska (pp. 173–189) points to the increase and the importance of trafficking: ‘it is third in terms of criminal business after the drugs and arms trade’ (p. 173). Sic! – if you didn’t know, alas, your reviewer did not! A very instructive and informative contribution, which is emphasising the non-novelty of this issue, as trafficking has taken place in Europe for decades or more. Instead of giving up, the contribution refers to international law and how to defeat trafficking. The intention of the authors is to underline the complexity of the phenomenon, migration, and flight, and to expect the professionals to fight for the rights of migrants. They may play an important role, aiming at facilitating the relationships between migrant communities and host communities. As we know from here and there in Europa, this is not as easy as expected. Many citizens fear the ‘invasion’ and put pressure on politicians to maintain extreme and rigid regulations. Social democratic parties of the North were once upon a time cosmopolitan parties; this is not the case anymore. The Danish Social democratic party has turned into a nationalist party. Wonder what Marx or the Danish pioneers of the 1870s and 1880s would judge? Social democrats in first decades of the nineteenth century would have supported a German worker and not a Danish bourgeois. As Dylan once song, ‘The Times They Are A-Changin.’ Perhaps it is time to turn neoliberalism upside-down? At least, the evidence of this publication points to an increasing political responsibility of the professionals. We have experienced the lack of popular support. Let us do whatever we can to make this a populist issue and thereafter develop popular movements to change the course.
