Social Development, Social Inequalities, and Social Justice
- Edited by Cecilia Wainryb, Judith G. Smetana and Elliot Turiel.
This volume considers previously separate bodies of research on social justice, social equality, and social development. Eminent scholars from a variety of disciplines discuss the latest research to help us understand the relation between social inequalities and social development. In so doing, the book documents the powerful ways that social inequalities frame development and explores the conflicts that arise in the context of these inequalities. It illustrates how people around the world make judgments about these conditions and how they resist or change the practices they deem unjust. By bringing together these perspectives, the editors hope to demonstrate how understanding social development carries with it the possibility of change and social justice.
The book considers processes of social development. It examines Piaget’s ideas about morality and relates them to children’s thinking about social rights. An interdisciplinary review of research from developmental, social, and health psychology, social policy, anthropology, and philosophy, follows this introduction. Each contributor examines the historical, developmental, and social processes that influence beliefs regarding social justice and equality and the consequences of living in conditions of injustice. The book considers:
- Inequalities in educational and health care opportunities.
- Unequal rights and harassment and their effects on minorities.
- The hardships and inequalities encountered by women.

Cognitive Development
Neo-Piagetian Perspectives
- By Sergio Morra, Camilla Gobbo, Zopito Marini and Ronald Sheese.
The opening chapter provides a historical orientation, including a critical distinction between the "logical" and the "dialectical" Piaget. In subsequent chapters the major theories and experimental findings are reviewed, including Pascual-Leone's Theory of Constructive Operators, Halford's structuralist theory, Fischer's dynamic systems approach to skills, Case's theory of Central Conceptual Structures, Siegler’s microgenetic approach, and the proposals of Mounoud and Karmiloff-Smith, as well as the work of others, including Demetriou and de Ribaupierre. The interrelation of emotional and cognitive development is discussed extensively, as is relevant non neo-Piagetian research on information processing. The application of neo-Piagetian research to a variety of topics including children's problem solving, psychometrics, and education is highlighted. The book concludes with the authors' views on possibilities for an integrated neo-Piagetian approach to cognitive development.

"The authors of Cognitive Development: Neo-Piagetian Perspectives have done a remarkable job of reviewing and summarizing the research and theory of a number of workers who have attempted to build upon the theory and research of Jean Piaget." – David Elkind, PsycCRITIQUESProtecting Children from Violence
Evidence-Based Interventions
- Edited by James Michael Lampinen, and Kathy Sexton-Radek.
Providing an evidence based understanding of the causes and consequences of violence against children, experts in the field examine the best practices used to help protect children from violence. Various types of violence are reviewed including physical and sexual abuse, (cyber-)bullying, human trafficking, online predators, abductions, and war. In addition, it reviews the various perpetrators of such violence including parents and relatives, strangers, other children, and societal institutions. The possible outcomes of such violence including physical injuries, death, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, and damage to the social fabric of the local community are also explored.
To enhance accessibility, each contributor addresses common themes:
- Opening case studies dramatically illustrate the human cost of abuse and neglect
- Empirically driven estimates of the scope of problem to better understand who is at risk and why
- Empirically driven testing of interventions to maximize effectiveness of programs
- How current research compares to public perception and the impact on public policy
- The worldwide problem of violence against children
- Evidence-based recommendations for reducing violence against children.
Contributors are noted scholars from a broad range of disciplines. As such, the book appeals to researchers and advanced students in developmental, counseling, clinical, cognitive, evolutionary, and social psychology, as well as sociology, social work, criminal justice, education, and law enforcement.

"A must read, Lampinen and Sexton-Radek’s book reflects the vibrancy and breadth of a crucial field of scientific study—protecting children from violence. Chapters cover a wide range of important topics. This book is essential reading for all who care about children’s welfare." – Gail S. Goodman, University of California, Davis, USA"This book provides an excellent, research based overview of violence against children and makes empirically based suggestions for addressing this problem. It is an outstanding resource for researchers and child advocates." -Monica L. McCoy, Ph.D., Converse College, USA
"A major strength of this volume is that it focuses on evidence-based practices. This by itself will add to the field… [It] highlights the complex nature of children's exposure to violence and the importance of considering all contextual levels when trying to understand violence exposure… I can see this book being beneficial to social work students (and social workers) as well as practioners working with children, and graduate students in clinical/counselling programs." - Manfred H.M.van Dulmen, Kent State University, USA
