Social Welfare Policy for a Sustainable Future
The U.S. in Global Context
Katherine S. van Wormer, University of Northern Iowa • Rosemary J. Link, Simpson College
Unique in its use of a sustainability framework, Social Welfare Policy for a Sustainable
Future goes beyond U.S. borders to examine U.S. government policies—including
child welfare, social services, health care, and criminal justice—within a global context.
Guided by the belief that forces from the global market and globalization affect all
social workers in their practice, the book addresses a wide range of relevant topics,
including the refugee journey, the impact of new technologies, war trauma, global
policy instruments, and restorative justice. A sustainability policy analysis model and an
ecosystems framework for trauma-informed care are also presented in this timely text.

Toward the Creation of Social and Economic Justice, Second Edition
Jillian Jimenez • Eileen Mayers Pasztor • Ruth M. Chambers • Cheryl Pearlman Fujii, All
of California State University, Long Beach
The Second Edition of Social Policy & Social Change is a timely examination of the
fi eld, unique in its inclusion of both a historical analysis of problems and policy and an
exploration of how capitalism and the market economy have contributed to them. The

income, and child welfare and considers the policies that strive to improve them. With a
focus on how domestic social policies can be transformed to promote social justice for
all groups, Jimenez et al. consider the impact of globalization in the United States while
addressing developing concerns now emerging in the global village.

POLICY ANALYSIS / PRACTICE
Policy Analysis for Social Workers
Richard K. Caputo, Yeshiva University, New York
Policy Analysis for Social Workers offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to
understanding the process of policy development and analysis for effective advocacy.
This user-friendly model helps students get excited about understanding policy as a
product, a process, and as performance—a unique "3-P" approach to policy analysis
as competing texts often just focus on one of these areas. Author Richard K. Caputo
effi ciently teaches the purpose of policy and its relation to social work values, discusses
the fi eld of policy studies and the various kinds of analysis, and highlights the necessary
criteria (effectiveness, effi ciency, equity, political feasibility, social acceptability,
administrative, and technical feasibility) for evaluating public policy.

BEST EDITED BOOK IN ITS PREVIOUS EDITION
Social Policy for Children and Families
A Risk and Resilience Perspective, Third Edition
Jeffrey M. Jenson, University of Denver • Mark W. Fraser, University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill
The Third Edition of Jenson and Fraser's award-winning text offers new evidence that a
public health framework based on ecological theory and principles of risk, protection, and
resilience is essential for the successful design and implementation of social policy. Written
in a conversational, reader-friendly style and incorporating cutting-edge research, this
carefully crafted book maps a pathway for developing resilience-based social policies. In
every chapter, experts in their respective fi elds apply the editors' conceptual model across
the substantive domains of child and family poverty, child welfare, education, health,
mental health, developmental disabilities, substance use, and juvenile justice. The book is
an ideal core text for graduate and upper level undergraduate courses and a vital resource
for elected offi cials, policy makers, and others interested in the evolution of policies aimed
at preventing problem behaviors and supporting children and families.
