Theory, Design, and Specification

CheckPoint

Resource: Ch. 7 of Social Policy and Social Programs

Pretend you are in charge of creating a new social program. Money for funding is not an issue.

Outline, in approximately 300 words, the theory, design, and specification of the program you would create. Refer to p. 144 of the text for an example. Remember that, generally, a theory is a group or set of interrelated ideas thought to explain the causes and effects of a specific problem.

Justify your decision for choosing to create that particular social program.
