First Published in 1998. This is Volume XV of eighteen of a series on the Sociology of Public Policy, Welfare and Social Work. Written in 1948, this book highlights clearly the work that had been done by the voluntary social services in the period between the two wars, so as to make clearer the lines of demarcation between statutory and voluntary methods of providing for social needs. It was written with the hope that it would necessitate some radical reorganization in the post-war world.
