Annotation	This work is published simultaneously as the Social Policy Journal, vol 4, nos 3/4, 2005; and the articles were originally presented at the Social Policy Conference at the University of South Carolina in 2004. Contributors discuss various US social policy topics, approaches, and the latest research and findings. Students can learn how others have researched the topics using different approaches, whilst practitioners gain information relevant to their jobs and practice areas. Chapters explore vital perspectives, such as how to link programme evaluation to policy practice, and how clients' views bring more convincing rationale to policymakers. There is a focus on the real effects of poverty, inequality and oppression in American society, and among other issues dealt with are: Section 8 programme on housing policy; impact of work incentive policies; trauma theory applied to poverty policy; and quality of life in nursing homes.
