Social Policy Analysis
A goal of the course is to encourage the application of a policy analysis framework. You
will select a policy (agency, county, state, or federal) and write a policy brief using the
recognized policy framework analysis. As the textbook identifies, this analysis should
cover the extensive list in the textbook under the four main sections:
1) the historical background of the policy,
2) problems that necessitate the policy,
3) policy description, and
4) policy analysis (policy goals, political/economic/administrative feasibility).
Additionally, you must have 5 references from recent, peer-reviewed literature in social
work and related disciplines (within last 5 years), and its implications for
practice. Additional references can be from reputable Internet sources (with endings in
.gov or .edu – not Wikipedia).
The paper must be in APA-7th-edition (student edition) format with a title page, main
body (no more than 7 full pages and no less than 5 full pages), and a reference page.
During class, you will give a short presentation of your findings.
