RISK, SOCIAL POLICY AND WELFARE by Hazel Kemshall
Drawing on social policy developments and case examples from health, the personal social services and mental health, this book examines how risk is replacing need as the key principle of welfare organization and state provision of services. It explores the role of risk-based allocation and rationing systems in a climate of welfare retrenchment.
"By making substantial room for the social policy literature dealing with risk, Kemshall performs a considerable service for the undergraduates at whom her book is aimed and , who knows, for a few academics too" - Tony Fitzpatrick
