| Annotation | This report looks at and provides examples of how high quality research can provide for policymakers in relation to family policy. Its aim is to demonstrate how good science can contribute to evidence-based policy making. It is directed at senior policy-makers and their advisers, think-tanks and relevant NGOs, academics and students seeking an overview of materials in this area. It examines the interface between science and policy; research on family structure, break-up and reconstitution; non-parental care; individuals' variable response to environmental hazards; life stressors, such as illness or divorce; abuse, neglect and bullying; institutional deprivation; drug use; the risks and protective effects that derive from communities and social groups; and preventive interventions around family dysfunction and poor parenting.
