Housing first: ending homelessness, transforming systems, and changing lives

This article examines the tensions between the presently dominant form of globalisation, which will be referred to as neo-liberal globalisation, and the protection of human rights. The argument developed and defended here, in essence, is that one cannot be committed to the protection of fundamental human rights and at the same time acquiescent in the dominant model of globalisation. Consequently, it is argued that advocates for human rights, be they grassroots campaigners, academics or members of the global human rights officialdom, must take a strong stance against prevailing orthodoxies in order to genuinely advance and entrench a culture of human rights protection. A large element of the argument presented here will be that conventional discourse on human rights and globalisation has misunderstood the nature of globalisation. In contrast to the standard narrative in this field, I will posit my own understanding of globalisation, that is neo-liberal globalisation, and then argue that this model is inimical, both in theory and practice, to the protection of human rights. Having done this, I will then go on to argue that all human rights advocates are faced with a choice (not an easy choice, but a necessary one) between acquiescence in a process which is inherently inimical to the protection of human rights, or utilising human rights to challenge and overcome the dominant model of globalisation.

On Reconciling Irreconcilables: Neo-Liberal Globalisation and Human Rights

Investigación cualitativa:: investigación-acción, investigación biográfico-narrativa

Within the growing research on the politics of crime victims are seen as resigned to their fates at the hands of powerful criminal actors. But the conventional approach to criminal victimization as a traumatic but one-time act obscures from view a layer of contentious and dynamic politics between victims and criminal actors that we have yet to analyze. I develop a new theoretical framework to analyze the strategic behaviors that victims and criminals undertake as part of the political process of criminal victimization. The framework enables us to better observe, conceptualize and theorize how victims exercise agency vis-a-vis their criminal perpetrators, and the behaviors and practices that criminal victimizers undertake but which are overlooked by the traditional focus on their use and threat of coercive force. I illustrate the framework’s analytic utility with an empirical analysis of the victimization of informal street vendors in a major Latin American city under a criminal protection racket. The argument and empirical findings suggest ways to expand and deepen the research agenda on the politics of criminal victimization.

The Politics of Criminal Victimization: Pursuing and Resisting Power

Despite a decade of rising violence in Mexico, it is unclear how victimization is associated with participation in cultural and artistic activities. This study contributes to fulfilling this gap. T...

Self-Reported Victimization and Cultural Participation in Mexico

This article discusses the public-private partnership that exists in Chile and in the United States to collaborate on issues of child welfare. By comparing both countries, we look at ideologies and economic issues that have historically shaped the contemporary perspective of public-private partnerships in child welfare. Additionally, we probe the role of social work in this area to see its current position within the public and private sectors in child welfare provision. Some conclusions are that neoliberalism and a residual worldview about childhood have shaped this public-private partnership. Also, social work has historically played a relevant role in advocacy and development of child policies and in both countries, private sector primarily implements child welfare policies and public sector funds them. Some of the lessons for critical social work include the importance of promoting a change in the way we address social phenomena in child welfare, and demanding an effective installation of the human rights approach to guide public-private partnerships on child welfare in both countries.

Public-private interaction in child welfare: lessons for critical social work from Chile and the United States

espanolLa practica pre-profesional es clave en la formacion en trabajo social. En este marco, esta investigacion busco identificar la evaluacion que los trabajadores sociales chilenos hacen de los aprendizajes intencionados en estas instancias para la intervencion en situacion de calle. Metodologicamente, en base a un diseno cuantitativo con alcance exploratorio-descriptivo, se invito a responder un cuestionario online que fue contestado por interventores de la disciplina. Los resultados muestran, en terminos generales, altas evaluaciones, pero con dispersion, con interventores evaluando altamente sus aprendizajes mientras que otros no. Esto sugiere que no todos sentirian que han incorporado las mejoras herramientas para la intervencion en calle. Se discuten implicancias para la formacion como, entre otros, la definicion participativa de elementos minimos que los estudiantes debiesen incorporar en sus practicas sujeta a permanente revision. Asimismo, el que existe el desafio de avanzar hacia el fortalecimiento de la colaboracion entre la institucion en donde se realiza la practica y la casa de estudios, en pos de contribuir de mejor manera al proceso formativo de los estudiantes de Trabajo Social. EnglishPre-service practice is key in social work training. In this framework, this research sought to identify the evaluation of Chilean social workers of the intended learning in these instances for intervention in a street situation. The methodology, based on a quantitative design with an exploratory-descriptive scope, consisted of an online questionnaire answered by practitioners of the discipline. The results show, in general terms, high scores, but with variances because some practitioners assess student learning highly while others do not. This suggests that not all the practitioners feel that learners have incorporated the best tools for intervening in the domain of homelessness. Implications for training are discussed, such as, among others, the collaborative definition of minimum elements that students should incorporate into their practices, subject to permanent review. Also, there is the challenge of moving towards the strengthening of the collaboration between the institution where the practice is carried out and the house of studies, in order to contribute better to the training process of Social Work students.

Educación superior en Trabajo Social en Chile y formación para la intervención en situación de calle. Desafíos desde la evaluación que interventores hacen de sus procesos de práctica pre-profesional

espanolPoverty and victimization caused by crime and violence are considered violations of economic, social and cultural rights, and human dignity. The most excluded populations are often recurrent victims of these rights violations. Artists are one of these populations, as they are usually in a situation of structural socio-economic vulnerability.Taking as a case study the city of Acapulco, Mexico, one of the most violent and impoverished areas in the country, we try to answer, how is art practiced in Acapulco, a city with a high rate of the population living in poverty and in a high level of violence? What implications have this in artistic practice? Besides, how do those dedicated to art in Acapulco practice their rights? For this, an instrumental qualitative case study was designed focused on the experiences of the artists. Through a thematic analysis, we identify that in Acapulco, artists practice their economic, social and cultural rights mainly through the market, and in cases of more constant exercise, this is associated with a formal employment contract, rather than from the public offer guaranteed by the state MultipleLa pobreza y la victimizacion ocasionadas por el crimen y la violencia son consideradas violaciones a los derechos economicos, sociales y culturales, y a la dignidad humana. Las poblaciones mas excluidas suelen ser victimas recurrentes de estas violaciones de derechos. Los artistas son una de estas poblaciones, pues usualmente se encuentran en situacion de vulnerabilidad socio-economica estructural. Tomando como caso de estudio a la ciudad de Acapulco, Mexico, una de las localidades mas violentas y empobrecidas del pais, intentamos responder, ?como es ejercido el arte en Acapulco, una ciudad con un alto indice de poblacion en situacion de pobreza y con un alto nivel de violencia? ?Que implicaciones tiene esto en la practica artistica? A su vez, ?como ejercen sus derechos quienes se dedican al arte en Acapulco? Para ello, se diseno un estudio de caso cualitativo instrumental centrado en las experiencias de los artistas. Mediante un analisis tematico identificamos que en Acapulco los artistas ejercen sus derechos economicos, sociales y culturales principalmente a traves del mercado, y en los casos de un ejercicio mas constante, este se encuentra asociado con un contrato laboral formal, mas que desde la oferta publica garantizada por el Estado.

Los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales de los artistas en contextos de violencia y pobreza. El caso de Acapulco, México

The study critically explores the meanings and expressions of co-responsibility based on the experience of Chilean social workers involved in public-private child welfare. It draws upon critical institutionalism to frame thematic analysis of interviews with practitioners participating in these arrangements. Results show that meanings and expressions of co-responsibility are diverse and co-exist in intervention. Some meanings are that co-responsibility is the responsibility assumed by the State as the first guarantor of rights with a private that takes responsibility for clients. It also means collaboration in a neoliberal system. Regarding expressions, it takes the form of a programmatic execution that operationalizes the rights approach. Another one is that co-responsibility expresses in individualistic performance that neglects the other colleague. Implications for critical social work practice, policy, and scholarship are discussed, based on the diversity of meanings and expressions of co-responsibility identified.
