Description

A course based on a sociological analysis of social problems and how social service agencies and social workers address them. The principal text examines social welfare within a political context, considering various ideological perspectives. The second text contains readings about current social problems that create dependency and a need for social services. The old method of social work and the implementation of the new “welfare reform” policies are compared and contrasted. Prerequisite: SOC 230
