However, in Romania, a very large number of people entering the supervision of probation services leave the country, most of them for employment purposes, bringing a series of challenges to probation counselors in the supervision process. Who are these people who leave the country, where do they go, why do they leave, we will answer all these questions in this material, as a result of a research carried out within the Dolj probation service by analyzing a representative number of probation files.

Improving quality of life using new neuroscience methods" Abstract: This work aims to make a contribution on how social sciences can be of support and help for people with disabilities. Social sciences can play a significant role in supporting and helping people with disabilities by identifying the environmental and social barriers that make disabilities most visible and challenging for individuals, removing them and creating more inclusive and accessible environments for them. Social sciences can also empower people with disabilities by giving them a voice and helping them build confidence and social capital. In fact, the world of physical activity, sport, disability and the path towards conquest of resilient peculiarities must merge in the awareness that they guarantee a better quality of life for disabled people is possible beyond barriers cultural, social and architectural.

How to explain inequality: Thomas Piketty’s contribution" Abstract: For Piketty finally, we have the political proposal of inclusive liberalism on the field to counter the enormous inequalities caused by the unbridled neoliberalism that characterizes the globalized world of our days. The current of liberal thought defined as embedded liberalism, which is opposed to uncostrained liberalism unfettered. We have to understand if inclusive liberalism accepts the classic policies of European social democracies, without which true social inclusion is difficult. As long as there are no serious proposals for a redistributive policy of wealth, on social justice, the parties of the traditional left will lose support. The challenge represented by the social question inequality evidently implies the totality of social life.

A sociological and empirical study" Abstract: It is well known that the medical and sociological literature abounds in materials that present a whole series of categories of patients as being part of vulnerable population categories. Medical professionals, and doctors, in particular, are seen as parts of the therapeutic relationship holding power, also leading to an image of a ‘privileged’ social group. Although this idea is a predominant one within classical sociological theories, but also within the traditional image of the doctor, if we look in a certain context, such as the functional one of the Romanian health system, we can reveal another social image of today’s psychiatrist. The present work wants to outline such a picture, starting from theoretical landmarks of medical sociology and observing a whole series of social realities identified through empirical research based on ethnographic evidence, but also on analyses of publicly available secondary data. The conceptualization of the vulnerability of psychiatrists will be highlighted within the complex interactions within the health system, which is in a problematic relationship with the entire social system. Finally, we want to undertake exploratory research on the specific vulnerabilities of psychiatrists (some vulnerabilities characterizing the entire professional body of doctors): complex clinical tasks, limited collaboration with other categories of doctors, limitation of resources specific to the profession (paraclinical and laboratory examinations), rigid control, extensive and overlapping of different control bodies, geographical isolation from other medical institutions and the emotional impact in the face of patients’ suffering. The vulnerability of doctors overlaps, but also inverts, that of patients, accentuating a whole series of already existing problems. Defining the group of psychiatrists as a vulnerable social group generates the need to identify answers for a problem that we consider fundamental: difficulties arising in the complex of mental health care can lead to a real social problem.

In this context, violence against women (Istanbul Convention 2011) reiterates, even today, a social structure based on asymmetric power relations which does not allow them to acquire the determination necessary to escape from “natural” subordination. Violence remains hidden and, very often (Grevio Report 2019), produces a sense of distrust even in institutions as in the case of the phenomenon of secondary victimization (Vonderhaar and Carmody 2015) which, once again, explains delays in fighting violence. For these reasons, the prevention of violence requires a cultural approach inspired by the principles of gender equality, also considering the possible bias of A. I. in terms of gender stereotypes, which is capable of increasing women’s empowerment, making them “capable” (Sen 1979) of carrying out own choices in autonomy and freedom (Grignoli 2022) for a sustainable social future.

E. Park published The Concept of Social Distance as Applied to the Study of Racial Attitudes and Racial Relations, thus resuming the analysis carried out in 1921 together with Burgess on the types of behavior of individuals and of groups and the phenomenon of social distance. It is emphasized how these “accommodations so flagrantly displayed in the relation between white and black men (race prejudice)” are not confined solely to this specific relation but “The same mechanisms are involved in all the subordinations, exclusions, privacies, social distances, and reserves which we seek everywhere, by the subtle devices of taboo and social ritual, to maintain and defend”. The conceptualization of social distance in Park and Burgess’s volume is mediated, especially by Park, through Simmel’s formal sociology and will subsequently be elaborated, on a methodological level, by E. Bogardus through the relative measurement scale. The influence of the German sociologist is made evident by the constant reference Park makes to him in his writings, with particular reference to the treatment of the foreigner and to the spatial variable as constitutive of the dynamic form and meaning of social relations. This contribution aims to deepen the conceptual elaboration of social distance, starting from the argumentation in the volume by Park and Burgess.

The so-called "mental health" corresponds to the well-being condition in which a person finds himself when he reaches a satisfactory personal psychological balance. Mental health is a subjective condition that depends on different factors (personal, relational, social, economic) and changes as a result of the vicissitudes of life. The subject with mental discomfort lives in a state of suffering: for fear, for loss of confidence in himself or in others, for inability to love, to work, for loneliness. When psychic discomfort persists for a long time it can result in a real mental illness. The most common psychiatric diseases are: depression, anxiety disorder, panic attacks, the large group of psychoses, including schizophrenia. In the past, people with severe mental illness were isolated in asylums, places of segregation rather than places of care. The mentally ill was considered "dangerous to society", so he had to be removed. Today, the Social Worker fits into this delicate context as a professional who contributes to the achievement of the state of health understood by the World Health Organization (WHO), as "complete well-being, physical, mental and social" Classification-JEL: K40, K42, K14 Keywords: school dropout; society; deviance; family; prevention.

Sociologically, therefore, school dropout is a phenomenon that encompasses everything that is lost during the evaluation of the learning process. However, not all pupils but only a part run the risk of dispersal because schools operate a social selection function, distinguishing pupils on the basis of evaluation criteria for school success, which in turn is influenced by factors that are not biological but social, both ascribed such as socio-economic status and the cultural background of the family of origin, and acquired such as motivation, interests, degree of independence.

Sociological and Legal Thoughts on the Need for a Constitution that unites all the Nations of the World" Abstract: The free movement of capital, economically very strong companies transnational corporations and large economic unions between nation states have long existed indicated as signs of a globalization that surpassed the classic form of National state to move towards borderless world governance and conflicts. This thought has established itself, also thanks to the strong propaganda of the masses media, making great promises of economic prosperity for all, of freedom and democracy, with the contemporary realization of the free movement of capital, the major deregulations of national economies, the economically very strong ones multinationals and large economic unions between national states. A world that would have happily shared Western values, considered “morally superiors”, of democracy and the free market, of interdependence and of cooperation, to the detriment of old ideologies and useless divisions. But today this phase of globalization seems to be in its decline, with the financial crisis of 2008, the worsening of competition between the United States and China, the pandemic and wars constitute, in fact, as many stages of the profound transformation of the international political and economic structure. Large state-level powers are returning to the scene continental with the desire to be geopolitical protagonists, and the probably return of all the characteristic baggage of divisions and spheres of influence, alliances and hostility. We have new alliances between emerging nations, globally, the so-called BRICS countries (acronym used in international economics to refer to the following countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, to which they will be added soon other important nations not belonging to the “tradition” strictly western.
