Inhalt: This article reports on an exploratory, qualitative, multiple-methods study that included individual interviews and a focus group with child protection services (CPS) workers in a large city in Alberta, Canada. The findings illuminate current CPS worker practices in situations of domestic violence where inclusion and exclusion decisions are made for service provision, and the ways in which documents reflect these day-to-day practices; how service user descriptions are constructed and reconstructed, the social problem of domestic violence conceptualized, and the ways in which professional development training encourages critical thinking about existing practices to create new solutions for families experiencing domestic violence. Thematic analysis reveals three themes about CPS workers' experience: 1) current practices reflect invisibility of men and accountability of women; 2) personal and professional shift in perspectives on who to work with, gender expectations, and how CPS are delivered; and 3) reflexive practice into potential intervention strategies and professional development training. The findings suggest specific recommendations for practice including the need to engage men in child welfare practice, shift perspective about service delivery with families experiencing domestic violence, and account for gender norms and practices in service delivery.

Inhalt: This introductory article is intended to open the volume of work prepared by the participants of the 12th UNESCO Janusz Korczak Chair International Summer School. The participants presented these papers at the RC25 ISA Interim International Conference in Warsaw, entitled: "Language and Society. Research Advances in Social Sciences" (26-27.09.2019), exploring the concepts of gender equality and children's equality in liberal and conservative discourses and practices invested in language. The papers in this volume primarily use the methodology of discourse analysis and a range of tools and methods within this framework. The purpose is to shed light on how discourses inform preferences, behaviours and representations, towards the positioning of individuals in society, based on their respective gender and their individual status - whether an adult or a child. It is interesting to explore what is expected of the holders of these positions and whether they are able to confront and renegotiate their situation. The authors look into gendered childhood, analysing if differences can be found in so-called conservative and liberal discourses. The gender aspect of childhood and the resistance towards children’s expected positions interlinked to their gender is visible to diverse degrees in this selection of papers. The concept of social positioning due to one's gender is at the heart of this volume. Therefore, this Editorial forms a theoretical backstage for the volume of works included in the special post-conference issue of Society Register.

Inhalt: This article is based on data collected during a qualitative survey on children's leisure practices and family socialisation patterns. The paper focuses more specifically on the cross effects of gender and social class on the construction of body hexis and relationship to sports. The results show that several dimensions of family habitus must be taken into account: lifestyles, way in which parents divide the tasks of raising children and relationship they have with social competition or gender norms. Moreover, taking these different dimensions into account must be accompanied by an analysis of the concrete modes of socialization within the family and the practice context.

Inhalt: "Adoleszente Lebenswelten sind von gesellschaftlichen Wandlungsprozessen geprägt, wobei allen voran die Mediatisierung Heranwachsende vor neue Herausforderungen und jugendspezifische Entwicklungsaufgaben stellt. Medien treten zunehmend in Konkurrenz zu etablierten Sozialisationsinstanzen und insbesondere neue, soziale Medien gewinnen an Bedeutung und tragen zu einem Wandel der Freizeitgestaltung von Jugendlichen bei. Diese Entwicklungen werfen die Frage auf, ob die Mediatisierung der jugendlichen Lebenswelten sportliche Aktivitäten verdrängt und Jugendliche zu medienfixierten Stubenhockern werden, die nur noch virtuell interagieren. Vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund der Verdrängungs-, Verstärkungs- oder Unabhängigkeitsthese des sportlichen und medialen Handelns wird die gegenseitige Beeinflussung von Sportaktivität einerseits und Nutzung des Internets bzw. sozialer Netzwerke von Jugendlichen andererseits untersucht und die Frage nach geschlechtsübergreifenden oder -typischen Mustern im Zusammenhang von Sport- und Internethandeln analysiert. Als empirische Grundlage dient die MediKuS-Studie des Deutschen Jugendinstituts von 2011/2012, aus der die Daten der 13- bis 17-Jährigen (n=1789) zur Beantwortung der Fragen sekundäranalytisch ausgewertet wurden." (Autorenreferat)

Inhalt: "Adolescent environments are strongly influenced by societal change processes; first and foremost the medialization shapes diverse new challenges and developmental tasks for the youth. Media is increasingly competing with major agents for socialization. Particularly new and social media gain influence and contribute to changes in adolescent leisure patterns. This development raises the question, if the medialization displaces sports activities and teenagers therefore become media-fixed couch potatoes that are only virtually interacting instead of being physically active. Against the background of three theses - namely displacement, engagement or independence of sport and media orientated leisure activities - the aim of the research is a quantitative analysis of the mutual interference of sports and the use of the internet and social networking sites. Furthermore gendered patterns concerning the relation of sport and media orientated activities will be examined. The empirical analysis is based on the MediKuS study - a study of cultural-, sport- and media-orientated leisure activities of adolescents - carried out by the German Youth Institute in 2011/2012. To answer the questions the authors refer to the dataset of the 13- to 17-years old adolescents." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: This article aims to investigate the role and effectiveness of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the daily lives of the Afghan and Pathan children and youth working on the streets. In this ethnographic research, 30 girls and boys, aged 12 to 16, were involved in the data generation. Three NGOs were selected in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. In this research, children and youth discussed that one of the NGOs is meeting the needs of education and other two NGOs are putting their efforts but to a limited extent. This investigation also revealed that none of the studied NGOs have focused on the work based learning and skills development, however contributing to a very limited scope. The studied group has valued the NGOs' consideration of respect and dignity aspects in their operations. It is concluded that NGOs need to plan comprehensively to play an effective role to improve the daily lives of their target groups such as children and youth working on the streets.

Inhalt: In this research, we have studied the population of street children in Khorram Abad in Iran, in 2015, with the emphasis on the role of economic and legal factors forcing children to work on the streets. The results of this research show that the issue of child labor is the consequence of both global and local matters. These children are the products of the urban society, poverty, and cultural, legal, and local factors. The research method is a survey, and the statistical population is the street children, aged between 7 to 18 living in Khorram Abad, in 2015. The sample population chosen randomly includes 242 people, and the required information was gathered using the questionnaire and interview technique. In Khorram Abad, Lorestan, economic crisis and parents' misdemeanor are the two main factors that force the children to fill their fathers' missing place by working in the streets. But, gender factors such as being a boy, and cultural factors such as belonging to a specific tribe are influential in the howness of this phenomenon. In this article, we have attempted to use native sources for a better understanding of the local situation of the phenomenon, and have proposed a few solutions to alter the current situation.

Inhalt: Sports participation can confer a range of physical and psychosocial benefits and, for refugee and migrant youth, may even act as a critical mediator for achieving positive settlement and engaging meaningfully in Australian society. This group has low participation rates however, with identified barriers including costs; discrimination and a lack of cultural sensitivity in sporting environments; lack of knowledge of mainstream sports services on the part of refugee-background settlers; inadequate access to transport; culturally determined gender norms; and family attitudes. Organisations in various sectors have devised programs and strategies for addressing these participation barriers. In many cases however, these responses appear to be ad hoc and under-theorised. This article reports findings from a qualitative exploratory study conducted in a range of settings to examine the benefits, challenges and shortcomings associated with different participation models. Interview participants were drawn from non-government organisations, local governments, schools, and sports clubs. Three distinct models of participation were identified, including short term programs for refugee-background children; ongoing programs for refugee-background children and youth; and integration into mainstream clubs. These models are discussed in terms of their relative challenges and benefits and their capacity to promote sustainable engagement and social inclusion for this population group.
