“…Schild, 2000;Clarke, 2005;Lister, 2011). Importantly, the 1996 US legislation that ended a decades-old guarantee of (minimal) federal financial assistance to poor households with children, forcing large numbers of women onto the low-wage labour market (Dodson, 2007;Seccombe, 2009), was styled the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. In the health policy research world, the question of the extent of individual responsibility for health is considered serious enough to be the topic of journal articles (e.g.…”

AbstractThe growing prevalence of NCDs in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) is now recognized as one of the major global health policy issues of the early 21 st century. Current official approaches reflect ambivalence about how health policy should approach the social determinants of health identified by the WHO Commission on the topic that released its report in 2008, and in particular the role of macro-scale economic and social processes. Authoritative framing of options for NCD prevention in advance of the September, 2011 UN high-level meeting on NCDs arguably relied on a selective reading of the scientific (including social scientific) evidence, and foregrounded a limited number of risk factors defined in terms of individual behaviour: tobacco use, unhealthy diet, alcohol (ab)use and physical inactivity. The effect was to reproduce at a transnational level the individualization of responsibility for health that characterizes most health promotion initiatives in high-income countries, ignoring both the limited control that many people have over their exposure to these risk factors and the contribution of macro-scale processes like trade liberalization and the marketing activities of transnational corporations to the global burden of NCDs. An alternative perspective focuses on "the inequitable distribution of power, money, and resources" described by the WHO Commission, and the ways in which policies that address those inequities can avoid unintentional incorporation of neoliberal constructions of risk and responsibility.2

“…Reflecting the ideology of welfare reform years and its work first mandate, care giving is treated as a matter of personal responsibility. Low-wage mothers and children are left on their own to face the obstacles to managing daily life; attending school, keeping jobs and trying to hold a family together (Dodson 2007). And to the degree these troubles gain public attention, mothers and children are often set against one another -mothers' poor 'work ethic' is blamed on work disruptions related to children's needs and children's lack of schooling success is blamed on inadequate mothering (Dodson and Bravo 2005;Griffith and Smith 2005;Luttrell 1997Luttrell , 2003.…”

“…This animosity has traditionally consisted of police officers judging 'soft' community-based policing tasks as departing from 'proper' images of police work associated with masculine ideals of crime fighting (Holdaway 1983, Fielding 1994, Herbert 1997. In recent years successive community policing reforms in a number of Western nation states have sought to expand the remit of policing to encompass activities beyond problems of crime and disorder.…”

“…It is argued that there are several limitations of the current literature on police occupational culture. Firstly, that despite previous issues raised by policing scholars (especially Reiner 2000, Fielding 1994, Herbert 2001, Paoline 2003, police culture is neither monolithic nor homogenous; there are few recent accounts which demonstrate recognition of the contradictions, fluidities and complexities of culture and its operations. This critique embraces much of the ethnographic style of symbolic interactionism in reconciling the portrayal of these accounts in a style which accords with a sociological 'messiness'.…”

“…Several authors have noted that 'soft' policing activities have been traditionally considered inferior forms of police work compared with more authoritarian functions which rest on physical prowess, taking control of potentially dangerous situations, and which largely stem from a perspective associated with crime fighting (Holdaway 1983, Fielding 1994, Westmarland 2001. Authors including Herbert (2005) have further illustrated how aspects of 'soft' policing associated with engaging with communities in order to produce greater trust relations and networks of control, have been blighted by the occupational values of predominantly male officers who view increasing policies to promote citizen interaction as diminishing their powers by challenging their vested authority to determine ways to provide public safety.…”
