BOOK SYNOPSIS
Evidence-based practice has become a mantra for the public services. Students of social work need to understand the contribution of research, as part of this evidence base, to effective practice. This textbook has a dual aim: both to introduce students to a range of research methods at a practical level, and to sensitise them to the political dimension of research (namely, how social problems, and perceived solutions to them, are constructed). The book thus offers an important critical framework for understanding how research can, does and should, inform professional practice. It is designed to speak directly to students' and practitioners' experience and is therefore grounded in relevant practice examples throughout.
