Current Issue

This year's Inquiries in Social Policy focuses on particular populations whose distinct concerns frequently are passed over by the policy arena. The articles highlight gaps in policy approaches to prisoner re-entry, disability and youth services, and concerns for the LGBT community. In each piece the authors identify challenges and make preliminary recommendations for policy change that advances social justice and well-being.
