Interventions and Pathways in Life
This module investigates the consequences of measures taken within the tension field between welfare and coercion. Irrespective of the design of structures, enforcement and supervision, such measures can have different consequences: Some persons concerned might see themselves as having been at the mercy of the public authorities; whereas others might have been able to express their point of view actively in proceedings. If, within the scope of measures taken to combat poverty, self-determination and personal rights are not paid sufficient attention, this can have adverse consequences - on education, social and professional integration as well as livelihood security - thus defining the paths of lives up until an advanced age. Moreover, the social environment as well as future generations will also be impacted.
