Social Policy by Paul Spicker

Introduces students to the concepts and methods of Social Policy. This book provides a sense of the scope, range and purpose of the subject while developing critical awareness of problems, issues and common fallacies. It explains what Social Policy is and why it matters; and looks at social administration and service delivery.
There is more food for thought here than in most introductory textsIt captures the very particular approach to the study of social issues that is British 'social policy', which is gaining ground internationally. It also gives really helpful advice to any student embarking on this rewarding journey. Howard Glennerster, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science
