Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Welfare Policy Analysis and Choices provides frameworks for making basic social policy choices and applying them to specific instances. You'll find its depth of insight into the larger framework in which social policy decisions are made - beliefs, values, and interests - and its historical perspective on current "new" issues unique and invaluable. The book's approach is to develop a framework for looking at the underlying issues, ideologies, social and economic forces, culture, and institutionalized inequalities that are constant within this changing mass. This will enable you to understand and evaluate individual policy issues by exploring the possible choices, the effects and implications of each alternative choice, and the factors that influence each choice.
