Perspectives on Social Services and Social Issues
(edited by Jacqueline S. Ismael, Ray J. Thomlison, 1987, 279 pp., #110, $25.00)
Selections in this volume are drawn from the proceedings of the Second Conference on Provincial Social Welfare Policy, held at the University of Calgary in May 1985. The rich array of studies of provincial initiatives, social issues and programs presented at the conference is reflected in these selections, highlighting both the broad range of cases and the commonality of themes and issues that emerged. Privatization of services, expansiion of services in response to social issues and accountability to client groups are common patterns across the array of cases.
