Social Policy in Britain by Pete Alcock
This new edition of a best-selling introductory textbook has been thoroughly revised to cover the major changes in British social policy since Labour came to power in 1997. The book has also been substantially extended in order to offer clear coverage of the core areas of social policy provision in addition to its discussion of the themes and debates that inform policy development and outcomes. It handles a remarkable range of material and this new edition offers increased support to the lecturer and student in the form of boxed summaries, questions for both comprehension and reflection and annotated further reading lists.

He is the author of Understanding Poverty (second edition) and co-editor of The Blackwell Companion to Social Policy, The Blackwell Dictionary of Social Policy and International Social Policy. He has been Chair of the Social Policy Association and is now Chair of the editorial board of the Journal of Social Policy.
