demands of internal supervisors, but above all because they argue, ‘it contributes to the quality of practice in many dimensions’ (p. 25). Their rationale for the book is to highlight the quiet, unassuming, but vital work of community development practitioners. As a profession committed to social justice and positive transformation, the authors write that to develop a clear understanding of the why and the how is important to develop a better profile for the profession, but possibly more interesting than this, is the need to develop a clear and more focussed insight into the effectiveness of the approach. The book is a great contribution to the field and will be of interest to anyone who is committed to fully understanding the social impact of their research.

Radicalisation has become a highly influential idea in British policy making. It underpins and justifies Prevent, a core part of the UK's counter-terrorism strategy. Experts have theorised the radicalisation process, often beset by a weak evidence base and mired in fundamental contestation on definitions and explanatory factors. Experiential experts have been active contributors to these debates, presenting a challenge to the low-ranking role often given to experiential knowledge in evidence hierarchies and a contrast to policy areas in which it remains poorly valued. This paper draws on interviews with radicalisation experts to examine the dynamics of this pluralisation in practice. With a focus on credibility contests, it explains how experiential experts can claim authoritative knowledge and the challenges they face from those who prioritise theory-driven empirical data as the basis for contributions to knowledge. The paper draws out the implications for understandings of expertise of this newly conceptualised, evidence poor and highly applied topic area.

Ireland has been applauded internationally for its legislative progress in supporting the rights of (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) LGBT+ citizens. Yet much of the positive change within the social and political context of sexuality and gender expression has been achieved by campaign groups, operating outside government boundaries. Notwithstanding these advances, LGBT+ people continue to face discrimination, abuse and violence. Concerns surrounding acts of aggression towards transgender and gay people call for an ongoing dialogue between legislators, policymakers, and practitioners to explore ways in which safety can be ensured. This article draws from an emerging body of scholarship and research to question the effectiveness of current social policy and legislation in Ireland. It offers a discourse on hate crime related to transphobia and homophobia, while challenging the existing political thinking. Multi-agency collaborative working is suggested as key to fostering solutions together with changes in legal paradigms, and the continued formation of policy aimed at safeguarding the LGBT+ community.

Errors andMistakes in Child Protection offers a timely comparative analysis of policy and practice developments in relation to child protection errors and mistakes. Further, it contributes to the small number of texts adopting a comparative approach to understanding child protections systems (Burns et al., 2017; Gilbert, 1997; Gilbert et al., 2011). Rich, country-specific detail is offered through individual chapters exploring current and historical developments across England, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy and the United States. These are bookended by three chapters that introduce the reader to key concepts and literature in the field and analyse across the case studies to draw overarching conclusions regarding the nature and impact of child protection errors and mistakes. The book will be of practical interest to child protection practitioners and policy makers as well as those with an academic interest in critical social policy debates around the nature of and responses to professional errors and mistakes. Scheduled for paperback publication in September 2021, the book is edited by four internationally renowned academic experts in the field who author the overarching chapters. The first of these chapters charts phases in the construction and control of errors and mistakes from the ‘discovery’ of child abuse in the 1960s. It shows the transformation of the child protection landscape from initial under-reporting and denial of child abuse in the 1960’s to recognition of over-reporting in the 1980’s. Concurrently, the authors demonstrate how initial confidence in professional diagnoses and denial of errors and mistakes ultimately gave way to increasing recognition of instances of misdiagnoses and the potential for unintended and unwanted consequences within systems. Meanwhile, it shows how mistakes and errors were initially constructed as Book Reviews
《儿童保护的错误与错误》及时比较分析了有关儿童保护错误与错误的政策和实践发展。此外，它有助于少数文本采用比较方法来理解儿童保护系统(Burns等人，2017;吉尔伯特,1997;Gilbert et al.， 2011)。丰富的，具体的国家细节是通过个别章节探索当前和历史发展在英格兰，爱尔兰，荷兰，芬兰，挪威，瑞典，瑞士，德国，法国，意大利和美国提供。这些书的结尾有三章，向读者介绍了该领域的关键概念和文献，并对案例研究进行了分析，以得出关于儿童保护错误和错误的性质和影响的总体结论。这本书将对儿童保护从业者和政策制定者以及那些对围绕专业错误和错误的性质和反应的关键社会政策辩论有学术兴趣的人有实际的兴趣。该书将于2021年9月出版平装版，由该领域的4位国际知名学术专家编辑，并撰写了主要章节。这些章节的第一章描绘了自20世纪60年代“发现”虐待儿童以来，错误和错误的构建和控制的各个阶段。它显示了儿童保护领域的转变，从最初的少报和否认儿童虐待在60年代到承认过度报告在80年代。同时，作者证明了最初对专业诊断的信心和对错误和错误的否认最终是如何让位于对误诊实例的日益认识以及系统内意想不到和不想要的后果的可能性。同时，它也显示了错误和错误最初是如何被构建为书评的

In 2012, the ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF) condition was extended to long-standing migrant families in the UK who had previously achieved rights to residence and welfare through human rights mechanisms. Through close examination of policy, political statements, and media coverage, we make the case that the NRPF extension was – and continues to be – intentionally subjugating and punitive, most aptly understood as a policy of enforced destitution and debt imposed on negatively-racialised post-colonial subjects. In drawing out the implications of our argument, we point to time, destitution, and debt as core technologies of the UK’s migration regime, alongside everyday bordering, detention, and deportability. Denying support through NRPF serves to exclude putatively included migrants while normalising conditional approaches to social support. Our article reveals why moral arguments against NRPF based on destitution fail and suggests that challenging welfare bordering requires a more systemic appraisal of policy frames, intentions and effects.

The launch of the private sponsorship scheme, Community Sponsorship (CS), allowing individuals to resettle refugees in the UK, seems to be in contrast with the government’s approach towards immigration aimed to implement the hostile environment policy. Using frame analysis, this research looks at the diagnostic, prognostic and motivational framings used by policymakers in parliamentary debates related to CS to understand how the scheme and the hostile environment coexist. The findings show how the used frames allow the government to manage refugee resettlement more as a tool of migration management rather than exclusively as a tool of international protection, and how this strategy implements the UK’s hostile environment.
