It delves into the boys' life trajectories, detailing the rhythms, rituals, routines, and relationships that existed within the school. While the primary focus is on the boys' experiences, it is enriched by interview material from staff members, including religious Brothers, who worked in the school. These diverse perspectives provide a unique perspective on a neglected aspect of social work history, making the book essential reading for scholars and students of social work, social and oral history, narrative sociology, criminology, desistance, and social policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 320g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032333885\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46167804739834,"sku":"9781032333885","price":42.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717189663033_book.jpg?v=1717330169","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/boys-stories-of-their-time-in-a-residential-school-the-best-years-of-our-lives-9781032333885","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
