This is an extremely useful, updated text for students of social policy and other related areas, such as social work. The book is clearly written and enables students to develop an understanding of how and why social policies are constructed. Key points are well made and highlighted examples/boxes are provided in the text. There is reference made at the end of each chapter to further reading.

This revised edition has been expanded and thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in the fields of social policy and welfare. It includes:
a new chapter on criminal justice, revised chapters on education, community and social care, and health, an updated and expanded glossary of key terms and annotated further reading including websites.
