Reseña del editor

Understanding Social Problems, Policies, and Programs offers a comprehensive analysis of the policies used in the United States to develop the nation's social welfare programs. In this third edition, Leon Ginsberg updates social welfare policy through the 1990s. He explains developments that have taken place during the Clinton administration, in particular the sweeping changes effected by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, and details the major provisions of the new law and how it differs from laws previously in effect. He deals with the effect on social welfare of diverse social issues and events ranging from the trial of O. J. Simpson and the Oklahoma City bombing to the Contract with America. Ginsberg has also expanded on the six-component model -- history, social problems, public policy, description of programs, policy analysis, and policy practice -- that defines social welfare policy and services.
