Examines the problems of social policy research in the United States today. The editor estimates that the U.S. spends $300 billion a year on social programs but only six-tenths of one percent of this amount on research to find out whether the programs work. The thirty-eight contributors to this volume identify crucial problems faced by researchers today. Originally published by Abt Books in 1980.
