This book examines the participation of psychology as a science and profession, and psychologists as scientists and professionals, in debates about social policy planning. The test is divided into three major areas - international issues, domestic policies, and criminal justice - which are themselves comprised of several topics. Each topic is discussed in two chapters by authors who hold opposing viewpoints as to the validity of that subject's existing scientific data. Since the social sciences are relevant to many social dilemmas, the first chapter gives the reader a general overview of the kinds of issues in which psychology has taken an active role. Subjects of the remaining chapters include nuclear policy and war, affirmative action, violence on television, gun control, eyewitness testimony, and the effects of imprisonment. This book is a valuable resource for anyone concerned with scientific involvement in policy advocacy. It should be of particular interest to psychologists, sociologists, political sicentists, educators and to those working in public policy and criminal justice.
