Of the 700 offenders that are released from prison each year, seven in ten will be rearrested. There are a number of barriers face by released offenders that inhibit their successful reentry. These barriers include: mental health illness, limited work experience, lower education, substance abuse, lack of transportation, homelessness and poverty strain of family ties and/or close relationships. This paper explores the impact of social support on recidivism rates through a systematic review of the literature surrounding prosocial support. The implications for social work practice and research are also discussed.

Assim, esta tese tem como objetivo central analisar a estratégia como prática e a sua relação com a liderança solidária compartilhada desempenhada entre os sujeitos dos empreendimentos econômicos solidários, associados a uma central de cooperativas atuante no campo da reciclagem de resíduos sólidos urbanos. O método é orientado pela perspectiva etnográfica, objetivando a descrição densa dos dados coletados por meio de 15 entrevistas semiestruturadas com os coordenadores da central, 48 diários de campo realizados por meio da observação participante e análise do corpus documental de 27 documentos coletados. O período de realização da pesquisa foi de março de 2013 a julho de 2015. Os resultados apontam para um sistema complexo de relações sociais implicados pelos conflitos internos e externos ao grupo e que materializam processos de busca por consensos. Esses processos acontecem no espaço gerencial da central, permitindo que a estratégia como prática ocorra e contribua com o desenvolvimento da liderança solidária compartilhada, descentralizando as atividades e projetando o alcance dos resultados do empreendimento. / The analytical effort focused on the thesis is the process of developing strategy as a practice, as well as the phenomenon of shared solidarity leadership, in the context of solidarity economy. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze the strategy as a practice and its relationship with shared solidarity leadership developed among the subjects of solidarity economic enterprises associated to a cooperative center, which acts in the field of urban solid waste recycling. The method is guided by the ethnographic perspective, aiming at describing the data collected through 15 semi-structured interviews with the coordinators of the center, 48 field research journals made through participant observation and the documentary corpus analysis of 27 collected documents. The research period was from March 2013 to July 2015. The results point to a complex system of social relations implied by the group’s internal and external conflicts that materialize processes of search for consensuses. These processes take place in the central management space, allowing the strategy as a practice to occur and contributing to the development of shared solidarity leadership, decentralizing the activities and projecting the achievement of the results of the enterprise.

It departs from the assumption of social life as a programmatic action of social service policy in order to assure social security. Drawn upon theory of recognition and theory of social bonds, this study seeks to point out how relationships may promote protection and acknowledgment, although it also may create humiliation, undervaluation, and subordination. Due to these situations are harsh to be coped with by the subjects who suffer them, this study defends the crucial role of the State and specifically the social service policy to act upon these relationships. This requires strengthening social service policy towards a democratic mode which respects the autonomy of the subjects in taking decisions and offers opportunities to living the experience of social life as social protection. In order to strengthen social service policy it is necessary the production of knowledge on situations of suffering to take them as demanding social work attention and to overcome conservative practices which devalues the subject and consequently constitutes an expression of segregation rather than protection / O presente estudo se ocupou de investigar a convivência social, enquanto um processo sociorrelacional que contem possibilidade de ampliar a proteção social de sujeitos, famílias, grupos e segmentos populacionais, mais particularmente foi conduzido a partir da afirmativa da convivência social como ação programática da política de assistência social na garantia de uma segurança social. A partir da teoria do reconhecimento e da teoria dos vínculos, busca apontar como as relações podem produzir proteção e reconhecimento, mas também podem produzir humilhações, desqualificação e subalternização. Por se tratar de situações impossíveis de serem enfrentadas pelos sujeitos que as sofrem, defende o trabalho que a presença do Estado e mais especificamente da politica de assistência social para atuar nessas relações é imprescindível, o que requer um fortalecimento do trabalho social nesta política numa direção democrática que respeita a autonomia dos sujeitos na tomada de decisão e oferece oportunidades de viver a experiência de convívio social como proteção. Neste fortalecimento é necessário o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos sobre situações de sofrimento, para toma-las como demanda na atenção do trabalho e a superação de práticas conservadoras que ao desvalorizar o sujeito terminam por se constituir como expressão de segregação e não de proteçãonto.

Therefore, the historical period along with the family scenario were contextualized, considering their main characteristics from a communication viewpoint. Moreover, a definition of the ways and means of achieving the dissemination of this new media was investigated: the main topics inserted in this process, programs that stood out in the history of television, the making of stars and the beginning of the scheduling of subjects, known as agenda-setting . In order to achieve such goal, the methodology used was that of historical research, bibliographical research and in-depth interviews. The historical research was done through study of the advertising section of the following newspapers: "O Estado de São Paulo", "A Folha da Manhã" and Folha de São Paulo . Through bibliographical research, the question of the introduction of the TV in the familiar sphere and its consequences was analyzed according to the works of many communication experts, such as Edgar Morin, Boris Cyrulnik and Harry Pross, with special emphasis on this last author. The ideas of these specialists have allowed discussion as to whether the introduction of television in the scope of familiar communication respected the chances and the capacity of social dialogue among family elements, or if it invested in the development of the multiplicity that leads to isolation and the loss of social communication. The result of the research evidenced that the television intervened in the interpersonal relationships dynamics and was really able to transform the family communicative bonds. It is worth, thus, to point out the contribution of this paper to the studies of the Communication and Semiotics while casting an eye over our own history and broadening the horizons of knowledge that can improve the performance of our communicative abilities, in the midst of the family or in the most diverse social spheres / Esta pesquisa analisa o modo como ocorreu a introdução da televisão na esfera da família, principalmente na de modelo patriarcal paulistano dos anos 50, e as conseqüências desse processo nos vínculos comunicativos estabelecidos nessa esfera. Dessa forma, realizou-se uma contextualização histórica do período, bem como uma contextualização do cenário da família, em suas principais características do ponto de vista da comunicação. Além disso, buscou-se definir a forma como ocorreu a disseminação desse novo meio de comunicação: os principais temas inseridos nesse processo, os programas que marcaram a história da TV, o surgimento dos astros e das estrelas e o início do agendamento de temas, conhecido como "agenda-setting". Para tanto, a metodologia empregada foi constituída de pesquisa histórica, pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevistas em profundidade. A pesquisa histórica consistiu em investigação na seção de anúncios publicitários dos jornais O Estado de São Paulo , A Folha da Manhã e Folha de São Paulo . Por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica, a questão da introdução da TV na esfera familiar e seus desdobramentos foi analisada sob a luz de diversos estudiosos da comunicação, como Edgar Morin, Boris Cyrulnik e Harry Pross, com especial ênfase para este último autor. Os trabalhos desses especialistas permitiram discutir se a introdução da televisão no âmbito da comunicação familiar respeitou as oportunidades e a capacidade de diálogo social entre os familiares, ao invés de ter investido no desenvolvimento da multiplicidade que conduz ao isolamento e à perda da comunicação social. O resultado da pesquisa constatou que a televisão interferiu na dinâmica dos relacionamentos interpessoais e foi realmente capaz de transformar os vínculos comunicativos familiares. Vale, assim, ressaltar a contribuição da Dissertação para os estudos da Comunicação e Semiótica ao lançar um olhar sobre a nossa própria história e ampliar o horizonte do conhecimento que possa melhorar o desempenho de nossas habilidades comunicativas, tanto no seio da família, quanto nas mais diversas esferas sociais

More specific, we are interested in examining the adolescent’s relations to family, friends and authorities ii) which emotions the adolescent’s associate with their drug abuse and/or crime and iii) what importance the relations have had for development of drug abuse and/or crime. We performed four interviews with youths registered in a treatment clinic for drug abuse. The adolescents have been in treatment for one to six months. The questions were asked from an interview-guide based on the purpose of the essay, previous research and theory. Our previous research consists of studies concerning the impact social relations have on youth with serious social problems such as drug abuse and crime. The theories are about social bonds, shame, guilt, pride and Hirschi’s social control theory. The result of the study shows that all respondents had weak social bonds to their parents during their childhood and until they ended their drug abuse. That has probably influenced their drug abuse and/or crime development. The adolescent’s relation with their families has improved since they got drug-free. They all spent time with other antisocial youths which probably had an impact on their own negative development.

Denna uppsats tar sin början i ett intresse av att studera ungdomars konstituerande av identitet. Vi valde att utföra vår studie i Rädda Barnens projekt Ellen &amp; allan som arrangerar samtalsgrupper med en normkritisk agenda för ungdomar i 14-års ålder. Syftet är att genom en kvalitativ studie skapa förståelse för hur ungdomarna som deltar i Ellen &amp; allan konstituerar en maskulin respektive feminin identitet, samt betydelsen av ungdomarnas sociala relationer för detta konstituerande.  Studiens omfattning utgörs av tre intervjuer med projektledare och samtalsledare för projektet och av sex timmars observation vid fyra separata tillfällen i en Ellengrupp och i en allangrupp. Intervjuerna bidrog till kunskap om projektet som förberedde oss och skapade ett tydligt fokus inför vårt möte med fältet. Intervjuerna var utformade på ett sådant sätt att de kom att generera material som korrelerade med våra observationsdata.  Från vår analys av intervjuer och observationer drar vi slutsatsen att ungdomarnas behov av att skapa och upprätthålla sociala relationer leder till en konformitet inom samtalsgrupperna som bidrar till att ungdomarnas konstituerande av maskulin respektive feminin identitet görs med ursprung i en maskulin heterosexuell hegemoni. I denna hegemoni förknippas den maskulina identiteten med överordning och makt medan den feminina identiteten är passiv och underordnad och anses vara den maskulina identitetens motsats. / The notion of this study initially started taking shape through our interest in studying the constitution of identity in young adolescent people. The study was carried out in the Save the Children project Ellen &amp; allan which organizes discussion groups with a norm-critical agenda for young people in the age of 14. The purpose of this study was to analyze how young people participating in Ellen &amp; allan constitutes a masculine and feminine identity, and the importance of young people's social relationships for this constituent.  The study consists of three interviews with project managers and discussion leaders of the project, and of six hours of observation on four separate occasions in an Ellen-group and in an allan-group. The interviews contributed to an understanding of the project which prepared us and created a clear focus for our meeting with the field. The interviews were also designed in such a way that they came to produce data that could be correlated with our observation data.  From our analysis of the interviews and observations, we conclude that young people’s need to create and maintain social relationships lead to conformity within the discussion groups, contributing to adolescents constituting a masculine and feminine identity that originates from a masculine heterosexual hegemony. In such hegemony the masculine identity consists of attributes of agency and power, whereas the feminine identity is passive and subordinate and is considered being the opposite of a masculine identity.

Vi möter i denna uppsats kvinnor som successivt förändrar vår bild av det dubbla straffet, som komplicerar vår uppfattning om ett liv i missbruksberoende och livet på kvinnoanstalt, men som också förenklar föreställningen om den djupa kärleken de hyser för sina barn. Eftersom dessa mödrar har arbetat en hel del med sig själva och tagit sig ur långa perioder av beroende har vi fått känna av den kraft som lösgörs då en människa verkar inom någonting hon brinner för. Att hjälpa andra och att tillåta sig själv att ta emot hjälp har guidat denna berättelse kring människans förmåga att resa sig och gå vidare. Det faktum att kärleken tycks verka sida vid sida med den skuldtyngda problematiken har väckt vårt intresse och diskuteras genom texten som en löpande röd tråd. Genom att låta de individuella känslorna möta sociologiska teorier vidgas perspektivet till en vinkel som berör såväl makro som mikronivå i samhället. Den här uppsatsen försöker förklara sambanden såväl som de inkompatibla rollerna och dess konsekvenser för mödrar i fängelse. Thomas J Scheffs teori om sociala band leder diskussionen och är avgörande för att förstå behovet av hänsynstagande liksom den förödande skammens inverkan på individ och samhälle. Mänsklig mångfald och flerfaldiga verklighetsuppfattningar finner mening i en socialpsykologisk tolkning och analys sprungen ur en innovativ undersökning. / In this study we meet women who gradually change our picture of the "double penalty", which complicates our view of a life of abuse and drug dependence, and the life in a women’s prison, but also simplifies the notion of the deep love they have for their children. Since these mothers have worked a lot with themselves and emerging from long periods of drug dependence, we have experienced the force which is released when someone is working with something she is passionate about. To help others and to allow the individual to accept help has guided this story about the human beings ability to get up and move on. The fact that the love seems to work side by side with the indebted problem has aroused our interest and is discussed in the text as a running theme. By allowing the individual emotions to meet sociological theories widens the perspective to an angle involving both macro- and micro-levels of society. This essay tries to explain the relationships as well as the incompatible roles and its impact on mothers in prison. Thomas J. Scheff's theory of social bonds is leading the discussion and is critical to understanding the need for consideration as well as the devastating impact of shame on the individual and society. Human diversity and multiple views of reality will find meaning in a social psychological interpretation and analysis originated from an innovative study.

The aim of this study is to investigate how it is possible that tourists who are not actively seeking child prostitutes still account for the majority of child sex tourists. The study includes tourists, locals, people working in the sex industry and staff from Swedish embassy and ECPAT international in Bangkok. The study was conducted with a qualitative approach and an ethnographic method, using field observations and interviews to collect the empirical data. The data has then been categorized in to different themes and analyzed using previous research on the subject. Hirschis theory of social bonds was then used to further interpret the results. The results of this study show that the tourists in Thailand, who are not seeking out child prostitutes, will most likely come in contact with them anyway. This will happen because of the availability to the vast sex industry and the fact that the sex industry markets itself by offering youthful prostitutes. The tourists will have weaker social bonds because they have left their normal social surrounding but depending on how weak these social bonds are the tourists may or may not experiment with buying sex. In combination with that about 25 percent of the prostitutes are under the age of 18, this may lead to that some of the tourists will sexually abuse children even if they were not seeking them out.
