The Family & the State provides an accessible introduction to the family and to the ways in which the state regulates the lives of children and families. It provides a critical introduction to families and relationships demonstrating how our experiences of families are always shaped by social, cultural and political forces. This includes a consideration of what families are as well as considering how some families come to be seen as failing and come to be classed as troubled. This includes a consideration of approaches to parenting alongside policy approaches that have been taken by the state from the provision of parenting programmes to the Troubled Families programme. The relationship between inequality, poverty and failing families is explored as is the consequences for children's life-chances and how this may impact upon social mobility. How families live is also explored by considering developments in housing as housing is vital in terms of providing stability within a child's life. Importantly though 'The Family & the State' seeks to explain key concepts in an accessible manner and each chapter concludes by demonstrating how students may develop an assignment using the issues that have been introduced and discussed. Students are shown how to develop an argument and how to be critical.
