"É com muita alegria que apresentamos o quarto volume da coletânea intitulada "Ministério Público Estratégico" com o título "A Proteção Integral de Crianças e Adolescentes". Cada artigo deste livro é antecedido pelo desenho de uma criança. Crianças e adolescentes foram ouvidos e manifestaram suas opiniões a partir de perguntas disparadoras. Trazer a voz de crianças e adolescentes para refletir sobre suas prioridades é fundamental quando estamos falando da garantia de direitos e, sobretudo, do Estatuto da Criança e Adolescente. As percepções de crianças e adolescentes sobre a importância dessas prioridades e sobre como o Ministério Público pode atuar para a garantia dela...

This groundbreaking work is the first volume in English to examine Brazil's historic policy reforms of the 1990s and the political, economic, and social results. For years the large and ineffective government of Brazil could neither improve the country's greatly uneven distribution of wealth nor maintain inflation at reasonable levels. In the 1990s, long overdue changes bettered the government's fiscal performance, tamed inflation, and addressed chronic social ills stemming from the imbalance of wealth. But many problems, and many questions, remain. Why is Brazil still so poor, and why is inequality so intransigent? Were some of the reforms counterproductive, or could they have been implemented in a more effective way? Collecting essays by top Brazilianist scholars from various disciplines and intellectual traditions, Reforming Brazil provides new insights for international policy makers, economists, and scholars of Brazil.
This timely volume surveys the broad spectrum of interventions used in health promotion, and shows how they may be tailored to the developmental needs of children and adolescents. Its multilevel lifespan approach reflects concepts of public health as inclusive, empowering, and aimed at long- and short-term well-being.

And in keeping with best practices in the field, the book emphasizes collaboration with stakeholders, especially with the young clients themselves. Among the topics c...
COVID-19 is the most significant global crisis of any of our lifetimes. The numbers have been stupefying, whether of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures, or the economic consequences of shutdown. Coronavirus Politics identifies key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. Editors Scott L. Greer, Elizabeth J. King, Elize Massard da Fonseca, and André Peralta-Santos bring together over 30 authors versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons. The book’s coverage is global, with a wide range of key and exemplary countries, and contains a mixture of comparative, thematic, and templated country studies. All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book.
Este livro escancara o debate sobre a violência policial que dizima, cotidianamente, dezenas de jovens negros, indígenas e periféricos. Foi forjado na militância da autora no Movimento Mães de Maio desde que seu irmão, Paulo Alexandre Gomes de 23 anos, foi vítima de desaparecimento forçado, após abordagem policial, durante os Crimes de Maio de 2006. A obra traz um estudo contundente acerca da Polícia no Brasil; dos movimentos sociais de familiares de vítimas da violência, formados por mulheres que perderam seus filhos executados, sumariamente, pela Polícia Militar Paulista e o debate sobre as mídias alternativas que se contrapõem a mídia hegemônica burguesa. É uma importante contribuição para o Serviço Social brasileiro ao demonstrar a imprescindibilidade da articulação da profissão aos movimentos sociais, fazendo valer o princípio da defesa intransigente dos Direitos Humanos.
