Description
This revised and expanded edition provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary social policy, exploring its historical foundations, theoretical context, and current issues in areas such as health, education, and welfare. The book is divided into four parts, covering the socio-economic, political, and governmental contexts that shape social policy, as well as its development over time.
Contemporary aspects of providing welfare are examined in one section, while another part focuses on European and wider international developments. The text addresses key topics such as work and welfare, education, adult health and social care, children and families, crime and criminal justice, health, housing, race, disability, and social care, among others.
With features like 'Spotlight', 'Discussion and review', and 'Controversy and debate' boxes, as well as further readings and recommended websites, this textbook is packed with resources to support students engaging with the subject. A comprehensive glossary also provides explanations of key terms and abbreviations.
