Description

Social work is developing its own research orientation and knowledge base, springing from the research traditions of sociology and psychology and grounded in human rights and social justice.

Effective social research relies on critical thinking and the ability to view situations from new perspectives.

It is relevant to every area of social work practice: from the initial stages of an intervention, to planning a course of action, and finally evaluating practice. Research for Social Workers is an accessible introduction to the research methods most commonly used in social work and social welfare.

The major stages of research projects are outlined step by step, including analysing results and reporting.

It is written in non-technical language for students and practitioners without a strong maths background.

Illustrated with examples from across the world, this book captures the realities of social work research in a wide range of settings.

End of chapter exercises and questions make this an ideal introduction to research methods. This third edition is fully revised and updated. It includes new chapters on systematic reviews and research in crisis situations, as well as more substantial coverage of statistics.
