Author Description

"For novice and/or student readers, the authors hope that Innovations in Child and Family Policy will help them to develop a greater sense of what academics, professionals, and politicians mean when they speak of "child and family policy," as well as an appreciation for how social science research can contribute to policy-making to support children and families. For more advanced readers, the authors hope that these chapters make a significant contribution to the conversations regarding how multidisciplinary social science research can inform policy recommendations. For all readers, it is intended that the use-inspired research presented in this book will help to strengthen and support the well-being of children and families through innovative policies."--Jacket.
