Excellent- More about Issues in Social Policy
Issues in Social Policy is a textbook for social administration students, covering equality, equity, social needs, resources, voluntary social service, conflict between universalist and selectivist policies, deviancy theory, and professionalization of social work. The authors believe the development of social policy is essential for a more just society.
Format: Hardback
Length: 182 pages
Publication date: 31 July 2023
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Issues in Social Policy, first published in 1978, serves as a fundamental textbook for social administration students enrolled in universities, polytechnics, and similar institutions, as well as students in allied fields such as medicine, nursing, and public administration. When discussing social goals, what exactly do we mean by 'equality' and 'equity'? Do these two objectives clash? What are the social needs and resources that our society strives to reconcile? Is voluntary social service merely a decorative addition to an expanding statutory empire, or perhaps a means of reducing public expenditure? Do universalist and selectivist social policies conflict? What impact does deviancy theory have on social policy? Is the growing professionalization of social work truly in the best interests of clients? These are some of the critical questions addressed in the book. The authors view the development of social policy as a vital component in building a more just society, and the academic study of issues in social policy as essential for developing clear thinking and effective action.
