Description

Explore the complex relationship between social science theory, empirical research, and the creation of public social policy. Originally published in 1980, this Routledge Revival edition provides a critical analysis of how research impacts policy decisions. The text examines the specific role research plays within Royal Commissions of Inquiry. These government bodies are responsible for gathering evidence, reporting findings, and making recommendations on specific policy areas. This book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the mechanisms of social investigation. Through detailed examination, it looks at how data and theory inform the work of official inquiry bodies. The varied and stimulating chapters offer a deep look into the practical application of social science in a governmental context. It is an essential read for those studying the connection between academic research and the actual making of social policy.
