Public Policy by Sara R Rinfret

Public Policy by Sara R Rinfret

Focusing on the "doing" side of public policy and the role that citizens play in shaping it, this succinct, student-friendly introductory public policy textbook connects students to the public policy world.

"I like the progression of practical examples, public policy issues, and dynamics that position students to conceptualize both intellectually and academicallyTo be specific, Chapter 1 has established a foundation to enable the student to not just regurgitate facts but to invoke public policy facts to advance vibrant policy positions of their own." -- Mary D. Bruce
"A comprehensive textbook consisting of both historical and contemporary information and data about American public policy. The format and approach of the text are ideal for undergraduate students because they provide concrete examples of public policy in a way that relates to everyday life." -- Linda Trautman
"I think the features are fantastic and well placed in this textbook. I particularly like the chapter-opening vignettes, Everyday Citizen Connections, and Policy Choices feature. I think these make the text more accessible to students and generate more real student learning than a text that just presents the material in a static manner."  -- Laura Fidelie
