This collection explores how the dominant risk agenda is being embedded across welfare policy and practice contexts in order to redefine social problems and those who experience them. Identities of ‘risky’ or ‘safe’, ‘responsible’ or ‘irresponsible’ are being increasingly applied, not only to everyday life but also to professional practice.
