Unfortunately, no such bond exists. Rather, there is a substantial gap, some say chasm, between the production of knowledge and its utilization. Despite much contrary evidence, the authors propose there is a way of doing public policy in a more reflective manner, and that a hunger for evidence and objectivity does exist.   The book is pragmatic, drawing on advice from some of the best and brightest informants from both the research and policy communities. In their own voices, researchers provide incisive analysis about how to bridge the research\/policy divide, and policymakers provide insights about why they use research, what kind is most useful, where they seek it, and how they screen its quality. The book breaks through stereotypes about what policymakers are like, and provides an insiders’ view of how the policy process really works. Readers will learn what knowledge, skills, approaches, and attitudes are needed to take research findings from the laboratory to lawmaking bodies, and how to evaluate one’s success in doing so.   The book’s balance between theory and practice will appeal to students in graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in family studies and family policy, educational policy, law, political science, public administration, public health, social work, and sociology. This book will also be of interest to researchers who want to bring their ideas into policy debate and to those who work with policymakers to advance an evidence-based policy agenda.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49937207165201,"sku":"CIN0415805848VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353010475281,"sku":"CIN0415805848G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335420702993,"sku":"NLS9780415805841","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415805848.jpg?v=1751039339"},{"product_id":"family-policy-matters-book-karen-bogenschneider-9780415844475","title":"Family Policy Matters","description":"This best-selling text integrates the latest research and cutting-edge practice to make an evidence-based case for family policy.

The book draws on policies from around the globe to make an evidence-based case for family policy and its contributions to families and to society. Bogenschneider tackles a significant challenge of our times—the polarization of politics—including why it occurs and how professionals can bridge the divide.  Beyond the basics, the book provides best practices for turning analysis into action by drawing on cutting-edge research and a point of view often overlooked in policy books—the voice of policymakers themselves. Imbued with hope yet fundamentally realistic, Bogenschneider applies a relationship-based and strikingly nonpartisan approach for those who want to make a positive difference for families, whether they engage local policymakers in towns, cities and counties; state\/national lawmakers; or decision-makers in businesses, nonprofits and philanthropy.  Accompanied by updated, web-based teaching materials and a family impact toolkit, this is core reading for undergraduate and\/or graduate courses in family or social policy taught in human development and family studies, psychology, counseling, social work, sociology, public policy, political science, and education. It is also essential reading for professionals and policymakers interested in pursuing better public policy for families in all their diversity across the lifespan.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50886790545681,"sku":"NGR9781032318325","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51180126077201,"sku":"NIN9781032318325","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53548444188945,"sku":"CIN1032318325G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53574380552465,"sku":"CIN1032318325VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032318325.jpg?v=1751048642"},{"product_id":"evidence-based-policymaking-book-karen-bogenschneider-9780367523855","title":"Evidence-Based Policymaking","description":"Evidenced-Based Policymaking takes a fresh look into what policymakers and the policy process are like, as told by policymakers themselves and the researchers who study and work with them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144382574865,"sku":"NLS9780367523855","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52735178703121,"sku":"NIN9780367523855","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367523855.jpg?v=1757588655"},{"product_id":"evidence-based-policymaking-book-karen-bogenschneider-9780415805834","title":"Evidence-Based Policymaking","description":"This book examines ways to enhance evidence-based policymaking, striking a balance between theory and practice.
