Description
In an era marked by complex social challenges and shifting policy landscapes, understanding the interplay between social work and public policy is more vital than ever. Social Work and Public Policy: A Critical Analysis offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of how social policies shape-and are shaped by-the practice of social work.Designed for students, educators, and practitioners, this textbook critically examines key policy frameworks, welfare models, and legislative interventions through the lens of social justice and human rights. It unpacks the historical roots of public policy, its role in addressing inequality and marginalization, and the ethical responsibilities of social workers in influencing policy change.With real-world case studies, analytical tools, and reflective exercises, the book equips readers to not only understand but also critique and engage with policy processes that affect vulnerable populations. It challenges readers to move beyond passive implementation and toward active advocacy for inclusive and transformative social policies.
