Developments in British Social Policy

This text furnishes students of social policy with a comprehensive introduction to the subject that covers not just a sector-by-sector policy analysis but also its theoretical underpinning and a discussion of the wider socio-economic context of policy making and implementation. The work is intended for use on undergraduate courses in social policy, and for students of social policy, sociology, politics, public policy, health studies, community studies, applied social studies, and social work.
