This has led to the setting of new governmental schemes in urban areas that rely upon the commitment of social workers to a large extent. Besides that, a number of new professions linked to social intervention have appeared. The purpose of this article is to analyse the emergence of security as an issue and the effects of the new governmental schemes in the field of social work, and to compare the political and social backgrounds, how security is dealt with and the effects on social work in Belgium and the Netherlands.  vV.9,n.4dDec. 2001pp.427-446tEuropean Journal on Criminal Policy and ResearchcNetherlands  aTRABALHO SOCIAL  SEGURANÇA  aSCHAUTbChristine  jP.275
