-Includes issues of gender, disability, race, nationality and migration in its discussions of policies
-Provides an overview of the resources that can be drawn on while studying

For the second edition, all the contributions have been updated to take account of developments in academic debate and policy. Six chapters have been added covering recent changes, including policy innovations under the Labour governments, and additional issues, such as crime and social policy.
