商品簡介
Rather than being seen simply as social policy implementors, in recent decades there has been an increasing recognition of social workers as professionals with unique knowledge and insights to contribute to policy development. This book offers an accessible and evidence-based theoretical framework for understanding why social workers engage in policy, both as professionals and citizens, and the impact of their actions. Drawing on concepts from the political, sociological and policy sciences, the authors set out the implications of this framework for research, education and practice.
