Description
Originally published in 1979, this book concentrates on the major developments in social policy in the second half of the 20th century. The first part considers these in relation to the economic and social environment, comprising essays on social policy in relation to industry, urban planning, and housing need. Further chapters consider social policies designed to meet individual needs such as education, health, and the maintenance of income. The final section deals with personal social services, and the relation of social policy to crime. For its breadth and scope of coverage the book will be of interest to all students of the history of social policy and social work.
