The Academic Contribution to Social Reform
Euthanasia
Creating a Safer Society
In some fields of policy Britain tends to follow the Americans. Will crime prove to be one of them? This chapter begins with an exploration of the sources of American influence, and an account of the disastrous course their penal policies have taken. Thereafter attention focuses on the United Kingdom. It is argued that public concern about crime must be taken seriously. Some have called for a “remoralization” of the debate—more “condemnation”, le…

By What Authority? Ethics and Policy Analysis
By what authority do social policy analysts evaluate institutions and propose reforms? They have often relied on past traditions of political and moral philosophy, briefly reviewed here, to answer that question. These sources of authority are now failing, and many analysts are moving reluctantly towards a relativist or historicist standpoint which they nevertheless find unattractive. However, by studying institutions, practices and the traditions…
A Theory of Human Need
Regenerating the Inner City
Describes the Glasgow Eastern Area Renewal project - GEAR - and the lessons to be learnt from it, which will help other cities in the western world facing similar problems
Defining and Measuring Poverty. A Reply to Stein Ringen
This response to Stein Ringen's paper recognises the importance of his recent work and the validity of some of the criticisms he makes of poverty studies, but argues that his own approach suffers from some of the same defects. He dismisses this research too hastily, partly because he has neglected some of the best of it. Drawing on these sources, this paper formulates with their help a more rigorous presentation of the relative concept of poverty…

The Politics of Housing in Britain and France
Social Policy since Titmuss
Britain, like other advanced urban industrial countries, is passing through economic changes more fundamental than the recession and inflation which take so much of the headlines. These changes in industrial structure have political implications which influence the distribution of power and the allocation of opportunities and rewards, both through the market and through the social wage furnished by governments. They call for a critical reappraisa…
Feminism's Second Wave and Supplementary Benefits
Urban Development and Social Policies
An Approach to Social Policy
This paper is part of a report on general strategies of social policy for central governments. It was commissioned by the Irish government when Dr Donnison was Director of the Centre for Environmental Studies, London. Before that he was Professor of Social Administration at the London School of Economics and Political Science. In October 1975 he became Chairman of the Supplementary Benefits Commission, London
Supplementary Benefits
The statutory functions of the Supplementary Benefits Commission are described, together with the Secretary of State's invitation to the Commission to play a more active and public part in reformulating the problems of social assistance and proposing policies for dealing with them. Next the Commission's Chairman considers how he and his colleagues should respond to this invitation and which issues they should concentrate upon, focusing particular…

Policies for Priority Areas
During the last six years Britain has had a boom in priority area policies: educational priority areas, community development and community action projects, the urban programme, the Department of the Environment's six cities projects, the planners' comprehensive development areas and general improvement areas, neighbourhood councils and (most recently) the Home Office Deprivation Unit. These and other initiatives (repeatedly concerned with 'areas…

Ideologies and policies
Should social scientists, in their professional capacity, help to formulate political ideologies, policies and programmes? Or should they - and can they - preserve a professional neutrality? I begin by exploring these familiar questions and conclude that social scientists are as entitled as the next man to debate social problems, but should bear in mind that there is no authoritative solution to most of them
