Abolition in Social Work and Human Services - Visions, Possibilities and Challenges

The first to apply abolitionist theory from international perspectives to social work, this book explores whether social work has a future as a profession that challenges the perpetuation of unjust social structures. It questions whether it is possible for social work to become radical while it is located within the state.
