I need help with one topic

There were several important themes about policy making. Here are a few quotes:

“Policy-making and its subsequent implementation is necessary to deal with societal problems.” (Janssen, 2015)

“Policy-making is driven by the need to solve societal problems and should result in interventions to solve these societal problems.”  (Janssen, 2015)

"Examples of societal problems are unemployment, pollution, water quality, safety, criminality, well-being, health, and immigration.”  (Janssen, 2015).

Question: Select one of below developments and describe how that development can influence policy to solve a specific problem. (It should be in APA format, in-text citation, 500 words and references).
