Social Justice and Social Policy in ScotlandAuthor(s): Gerry Mooney, Gill Scott\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bristol University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Policy Press\nISBN-13: 9781847427038, 978-1847427038\nSynopsis\nSocial justice and social policy in Scotland offers a critical engagement with the state of social policy in one of the devolved nations of the UK, a decade after the introduction of devolution. \n\nPromoting greater social justice has been held up as a key vision of successive Scottish administrations since devolution began. It is argued throughout this important book that the analysis of Scottish social policy must therefore be located in wider debates around social injustice as well as about how the devolution process affects the making, implementation and impact of social policy.\n\nSocial justice and social policy in Scotlandfocuses on a diverse range of topics and issues, including income inequalities, work and welfare, criminal justice, housing, education,.
