Although aimed in part at raising awareness of such issues and the contrasting views which might be held it is intended that readers will use the book to develop an active engagement with these issues. This may be achieved through reflection and evaluation within their own professional context but also through embarking on their own research projects.  The book is split into three sections. The first section deals with issues raised by locating post compulsory education within a wider social, political and economic context. The second section looks at issues raised by considering post compulsory education in its organizational context. The third section looks at methodological issues connected with conducting research in post compulsory settings.  The format for each section includes overviews with self-assessment exercises, followed by different authors pursuing particular lines of inquiry, finishing with suggestions for ways in which readers might engage in debate and research.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49570816819473,"sku":"GOR003170369","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50450881249553,"sku":"GOR013957099","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0335211054.jpg?v=1751259365"},{"product_id":"what-is-to-be-done-about-law-and-order-book-john-lea-9780745303987","title":"What is to Be Done About Law and Order?","description":"The authors look at the connection between democracy and efficiency as they investigate the meaning of law and order.

This is a book that is well written, absorbing, thoughtful and thought provoking′ - The British Journal of Criminology    Crime control is in crisis. Not only have levels of crime risen but, more important, crime is increasingly regarded as a normal aspect of the social and economic system rather than disruption or deviance. The blurring boundaries between the criminal and the normal are evident in a number of areas from the activities of multinational corporations to the life of the inner city.       In this book, John Lea develops a broad historical and sociological overview relating the rise and fall of effective crime control to different types of social structures. It traces the process of modernisation and industrialisation from the eighteenth to the mid twentieth centuries which established the social preconditions for effective control and management of criminality. In the early years of the present century it is clear that these preconditions are now being progressively undermined as industrial society undergoes profound changes in its direction of development. The result is traced through a variety of types of criminality and the progressive debilitation of existing institutions and processes of crime control.      A major feature of this book is its wide scope and imaginative application of historical and theoretical perspectives on modernisation and capitalist social development to the contemporary problems of controlling a wide variety of crime. It represents a significant contribution to the ability of criminology and the sociology of crime to confront the dilemmas and controversies of the twenty first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50468841881873,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50468843684113,"sku":"GOR005538854","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455380615441,"sku":"NLS9780803975576","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52928798458129,"sku":"GOR007251433","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803975570.jpg?v=1751431303"},{"product_id":"condition-of-britain-book-john-lea-9780745309613","title":"Condition of Britain","description":"'Sixth formers will enjoy reading this book and teachers will find much to ponder'  Teaching History  Contents: Engels \u0026amp; W\/Class Today • Decline of British Capital • Industrial Revolution • Poverty, Crime \u0026amp; Politics • Class Consciousness • Man of His Time","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50799570780433,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50799573631249,"sku":"GOR004194453","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0745309615.jpg?v=1751009791"},{"product_id":"peover-eye-book-john-lea-9781904546016","title":"The Peover Eye","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51149523714321,"sku":"GOR007023113","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1904546013.jpg?v=1751092654"},{"product_id":"wonders-of-bird-life-book-john-lea-9781014445711","title":"The Wonders of Bird Life","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51181540114705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51181542310161,"sku":"NIN9781014445711","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/101444571X.jpg?v=1751046701"},{"product_id":"wonders-of-bird-life-book-john-lea-9781020929496","title":"The Wonders of Bird Life","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51192177492241,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51192179687697,"sku":"NIN9781020929496","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1020929499.jpg?v=1750708478"},{"product_id":"the-romance-of-bird-life-rare-book-john-lea-1724737897alk","title":"The Romance of Bird Life","description":"1927.
