| Summary: | More than just a box office flop that resurrected itself in the midnight movie circuit, Blade Runner (1982) achieved extraordinary cult status through video, laserdisc, and a five-disc DVD collector's set. Blade Runner has become a network of variant texts and fan speculations; a franchise created around just one film. Some have dubbed the movie ""classroom cult"" for its participation in academic debates, while others have termed it ""meta-cult, "" in line with the work of Umberto Eco. The film has also been called ""design cult, "" thanks to Ridley Scott's brilliant creation This book calls attention to criminal offenders and ex-offenders in urban environments. Rather than providing a prescriptive correctional supervision model, Delgado argues that effective work can be achieved by applying the capacity enhancement, or strengths perspective, approach to practice that enables these individuals to better capitalize on their strengths and social workers to better serve urban communities When it comes to social work practice in community outreach programs, in juvenile detention centres, in prisons, in parole and probation programs, and in the inner cities, Melvin Delgado asks the question: Where are all the young men and women of color? Although many urban residents, especially persons of color, are or have been involved in the juvenile and/or criminal justice system, the topic of criminal offenders and ex-offenders has been much neglected by the human services literature. This book stands as the only work to discuss correctional supervision and the needs of individuals in a nonprescriptive manner, marking a shift toward a capacity enhancement, or strengths perspective, approach- specifically what are the strengths of individuals and how can they capitalize on them? Delgado includes a section of reflections from the field that applies capacity enhancement principles and methods to case studies |
