Social scientists have proposed several different models for the
relationship between social science theory, empirical social
research and the actual making of public social policy. This book,
first published in 1980, seeks to provide a critical analysis of
the impact of research on policy through the detailed examination
of the part which research played in the work of Royal Commissions
of Inquiry, the bodies set up by government to consider, gather
evidence on, report and make recommendations about specific policy
areas. This titles varied and stimulating chapters will serve to
shed considerable light, not all of it positive, upon the potential
contribution of the social sciences to the practice of government.
This book will be of interest to students of the social sciences,
particularly sociology and politics.
