Description

In seeking to understand society, sociologists in this set sought to understand social institutions. Here sociologists consider the policy and planning implications of attempts to respond to and meet social needs by the Church, Civil Service, Industry and Voluntary Organizations. This set contains such classic works as Penelope Hall's 'Social Services of Modern England' and Peter Nokes' 'The Professional Task in Welfare Practice'.
