Evidence, policy and practice - Critical perspectives in health and social care (Paperback, New)

In many areas of the welfare state, there is a growing emphasis on 'evidence-based policy and practice.' Against this background - in health care and social care - the contributions in this book provide a hard-hitting and deliberately provocative overview of: the relationship between evidence, policy, and practice; how policy is implemented; and how research can and should influence the policy process. Written by leading analysts and researchers, the book develops an alternative view of evidence-based policy and practice and the policy-making process, suggesting a more inclusive idea of 'knowledge-based practice.'
