TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - What social workers can do about violence: learnings from the lives of 37 men JO - Social work in health care A1 - Van Soest, Dorothy SP - 435 EP - 453 VL - 39 IS - 3-4 N2 - Descriptive results of a study of the lives of 37 men who were executed for capital murder reveal the complex and multi-varied problem of violence at individual, institutional, and societal levels. The role of social workers is discussed in relation to prevention of violent crime rather than focusing on punishment. The study provides support for an anti-death penalty policy stance by the social work profession. LA - SN - 0098-1389 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
