This title was first published in 2001. This volume, adopting a
Scottish perspective, concentrates on welfare issues in the UK. The
book acknowledges the fact that the Scottish legislative base has,
historically, been different from the rest of the country, and
explores the impact of these differences upon the nature of welfare
institutions and service provision. The contributors also
critically investigate the important changes being implemented in
Scotland within the disaggregated local authority structure,
exposing the resource implications for service providers. The book
tackles policy issues ranging from poverty and social security to
health care, education and criminal justice. An analysis of the
relevant laws is incorporated into every chapter, together with an
investigation of the crucial implications of social and welfare
policies for family structure, class and ethnicity.
