Conclusions. 330 $aThis book analyses labour inspectors? discretionary practices in handling complex cases of labour exploitation in the Italian context. By outlining three years of field research, the volume uses the theoretical framework of street-level bureaucracy in the Italian context and integrates it with a neo-institutionalist perspective, focusing on the isomorphic pressures from the institutional field in which the labour inspectors operate. The book will be of use to advanced undergraduate students and scholars in the fields of sociology, organization studies, law and criminology, political science and public administration. Rebecca Paraciani is Postdoc Research Fellow in Sociology at the University of Bologna, Italy. 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aOrganizational sociology 606 $aOccupations$xSociological aspects 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aPublic Administration 606 $aSociology of Organizations and Occupations 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aOrganizational sociology. 615 0$aOccupations$xSociological aspects. 615 14$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aSociology of Organizations and Occupations. 676 $a363.11630945 700 $aParaciani$b Rebecca$0749312 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739468003321 996 $aLabour Inspectors in Italy$93553547 997 $aUNINA
