From Alms to Agency reveals how English social policy evolved from charity to professional public service.

This clear, accessible study traces four centuries of reform, showing how the English Poor Law and related institutions helped shape social work as a public profession. The book connects historical ideas to modern ideas about democracy, science, and social welfare.

Through a close look at laws, charities, and the people who built early social services, the work explains why nineteenth- and twentieth-century reformers argued for preventive care and professional training. It shows how local aid, political authority, and social science came together to redefine relief and support for vulnerable groups.

Readers will gain a grounded sense of how charity and state action interacted, and why the shift toward organized, professional help mattered for communities and policy alike. The narrative stays focused on the big ideas and the people who moved social work forward.

Origins of social work and its link to the English Poor Law
How charity, law, and public institutions shaped early social services
The move from ad hoc relief to organized, professional, democratic public service
Key figures, laws, and institutions that influenced reform and practice

Ideal for readers of social history, public policy, and the history of welfare who want a concise, accessible overview of how social work became a public profession.

Contacts, and Social Values and Valuations. Intermediate between the two groups will be a volume on Social Progress intended to set forth the more general applications of sociological knowledge. In addition to the present volume on Social Work in the Light of History, books that will fall in the second group are being prepared on important subjects, including Sociology and Education, Problems of Population, and Criminology. While the series when completed will present the logical and systematic character just described, the order of publication will depend upon the time when the different volumes are brought to completion by their authors. It is the intention to preserve the freedom of the writers to work under the conditions by which they can achieve the best results. Each book will be complete in itself, but planned with reference to all the others, so that the series as a whole will fulfill as nearly as possible the ideal of a logical summary of the product of the intellectual movement which goes by the name of sociology.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Social work has been a tirelessly evolving field. Early incarnations of providing aid and carrying out social services were observed in the church and later in politics with the rise of public relief systems. The 19th century's social movements were largely pioneering and offered little in the way of professional training. The first formal training courses for social work were developed in the early 1900s, mirroring the development of professional education in other areas. After decades of growth and standardization, the social work field is on the cusp of being recognized as a true, learned profession, with a focus on adjusting personal relationships and resolving conflict, using functional tests to apply scientific methods and principles. This book follows the lineage of social work's development, examining the ways in which the field has responded to changes in society over time, from the apprenticeship system and charity model to the scientific methods and professionalized focus of the present day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330784358_0
