For the past hundred years, the social survey has been a major tool
of social investigation, and its use has also been linked to social
reform. Starting with the landmark surveys of Charles Booth in
London and Jane Addams in Chicago, social surveys in both Britain
and the Unites States investigated poverty, unemployment and other
difficult social conditions. While in Britain there was marked
continuity between the early studies of Booth and others, in the US
the social survey movement exercised curiously little impact upon
empirical social science. This 2001 book traces the history of the
social Survey in Britain and the US, with two chapters on Germany
and France. It discusses the aims and interests of those who
carried out early surveys, and the links between the social survey
and the growth of empirical social science. The contributors are
drawn from a range of disciplines, including history, sociology,
political science, demography and geography.
