Andrea Hollomotz is Lecturer in Social Policy at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. Her particular interest in the subject area at hand arose from her experiences of conducting adult protection work in the field.
Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction. 2. Developing an Alternative Approach to Risk. 3. Sexuality. 4. Risk Creation in Everyday Life. 5. Resistance and Self-Determination. 6. Conclusion. References. Index.
I found this book thought-provoking and a welcome challenge to established ideas about vulnerability... The book is rich with excerpts from interviews and examples from Hollomotz's research, adding depth to the narrative and theory. It is a useful resource for anyone working in safeguarding adults, who wants to empower, just protect the service user.
