ISBN: 9780202306117 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Those trends include the entrenchment of bureaucracy, the challenges of once dominant professions, and the rise of...

The social constructionist perspective has revolutionized the way that social scientists investigate social problems.

Beyond Common Sense: Child Welfare, Child Well-Being, and the Evidence for Policy Reform
ISBN: 9780202307343 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Helping vulnerable children develop their full potential is an attractive idea with broad common-sense appeal.

This volume asserts that finding a place for well-being on the list of outcomes established to manage the child welfare system is not as easy as it first appears. The overall thrust of this argument is that policy should be evidence-based, and the available evidence is a primary focus of the book. Because...
