Description and Table of Contents
Description
A comprehensive, accessible and original text on poverty and the responses to poverty. It focuses on policy formulation and implementation in the areas of social security, personal social services and community care. By examining the boundaries between these policy fields and their impact on the poor, the book will provide new insights into the functions of social policy, how social policy in modern Britain actually works, what it achieves and what poor people must give in return.
