When Social Workers Impact Policy : A Framework for Understanding Policy Engagement

Social Work Law uses a range of learning tools to help reinforce your understanding of the law in practice:

• Learning objectives at the start of each chapter help structure your study
• Talking points in each chapter identify areas of debate for discussion
• Exercises and case studies offer a problem based learning application of the law
• End of chapter summaries identify the key points from each topic
• Further reading sections and website references encourage you to explore the area further
• Legal Skills for working in court and other aspects of the social work role help to demystify the law and encourage students and social workers to embrace law as part of their career long professional development

The text’s student-friendly framework is packed with engaging first-person accounts that illuminate the changing dynamics of the U.S. population, and reveal the stories behind these changes. Incorporating the latest statistics and data, Race and Ethnic Relations enables educators to stay current in this ever-changing area of study.
