Institution:

Delaware State University

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

The course is the second in a two-course foundation policy sequence. Consistent with the generalist perspective to social work practice, the purpose of this course is to ensure that the student is able to analyze social welfare policies within a specific conceptual framework. The course will help students to apply the framework of analysis to study and evaluate various social welfare policies. To this end, students will examine residual and universal social welfare benefits and related policies regarding their goals, recipients, entitlements, how social welfare programs are financed, and their effectiveness and adequacy, etc. The course will also examine the degree to which the concept of social and political justice bears on the nature and scope of social welfare programs and the policies that govern them. Particular emphasis will be placed on policies that address poverty racially oppressed groups and other populations at risk that have become central issues in the analysis of the welfare system. Managed care, welfare reform, privatization, and political ideologies will be discussed within the context of their significance in any analysis of social welfare programs and related policies of the millennium.Prerequisites: SCWK 315.Credit, three hours.
