Review
"This book is an essential resource for those involved in building research awareness and skills amongst social work students and practitioners." Ann Davis, Department of Social Policy and Social Work, University of Birmingham. "Becker and Bryman have successfully combined the virtues of a strong core text with a multi-authored handbook, providing a comprehensive and accessible overview for students, researchers and users of research. The main text is peppered with expert short case studies, which make the issues come alive, often introducing original and critical reflections. While being realistic about the political limitations on the impact of policy research, it demonstrates repeatedly its value and importance in promoting social justice and welfare." Professor Norman Ginsburg, Department of Applied Social Sciences, London Metropolitan University. "This exciting new series will be essential reading for students across a range of subjects and courses who need to gain a comprehensive understanding of welfare issues. It is evidence of the continuing commitment of the Social Policy Association to support the development of learning and teaching in Social Policy and related fields." Pete Alcock, Professor of Social Policy and Administration, University of Birmingham
