Across the world, the role of those in public health and welfare professions - such as healthcare, social care, and education - are rapidly changing amid political, cultural, and economic uncertainty and subsequent policy and public welfare reform. One way in which this is occurring is through the protection of young people from harm outside their family homes. Professionals responding to such harm often enter what is known as the 'pre-criminal space', holding responsibility for preventing the abuse of young people - particularly relating to violence and criminality. This emerging practice has stirred international debate around the ethical implications of tasking professionals with surveillance and control in the name of welfare and care. Using Carol Bacchi's 'What's the Problem Represented to Be Approach', this study will explore how responsibilities in crime prevention align or conflict with values of welfare-based professionals. Children's social care's enactment of the UK's 'Prevent Duty', aimed at preventing the radicalisation of young people into terrorism, will be used as a case study to examine how the prevention of violence via surveillance as a statutory duty aligns with the values that underpin social work. Through discourse analysis of national and local social policy alongside interviews with practitioners (n=18), the study will surface how conflicting value bases are managed in policy and practice. The knowledge produced will support social workers to navigate the 'pre-criminal space' while upholding the values of their profession, ensuring young people are not harmed by both the process of radicalisation and punitive system responses."

在世界各地，由于政治、文化和经济的不确定性以及随后的政策和公共福利改革，医疗保健、社会关怀和教育等公共卫生和福利行业的角色正在迅速发生变化。实现这一目标的一种方式是保护年轻人免受家庭之外的伤害。应对这种伤害的专业人员往往进入所谓的“犯罪前空间”，负责防止虐待青少年-特别是与暴力和犯罪有关的虐待。这种新兴的做法激起了国际上关于以福利和护理的名义让专业人员进行监视和控制的道德影响的辩论。使用卡罗尔Bacchi的“什么是问题代表是办法”，这项研究将探讨如何在预防犯罪的责任对齐或冲突的福利为基础的专业人士的价值观。儿童的社会关怀的英国颁布的“预防义务”，旨在防止年轻人激进到恐怖主义，将被用来作为一个案例研究，以研究如何通过监视预防暴力作为一项法定义务与支持社会工作的价值观相一致。通过对国家和地方社会政策的话语分析以及对从业人员的采访（n=18），本研究将揭示如何在政策和实践中管理相互冲突的价值基础。所产生的知识将支持社会工作者在维护其职业价值观的同时浏览“犯罪前空间”，确保年轻人不会受到激进化和惩罚性系统反应的伤害。"
