The Demonstration Project As A Research & Change Strategy, Leonard Rutman
The Demonstration Project As A Research & Change Strategy, Leonard Rutman
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The demonstration project is becoming a major instrument for social planning. In sponsoring demonstration projects the overall goal is for small scale "pilot" programs which include some form of research to contribute to program change and policy-making (14, 16, 19, 21). It is generally expected that the lessons learned from demonstrations, through the rigours of scientific research, will somehow result in large scale adoption and major shifts in aims, styles and resources, and effectiveness of social service programs. Models or prototypes for future operational programs are tested to determine their effectiveness in meeting states objectives. For this reason, they are …
The Social Welfare Workers Movement: A Case Study Of New Left Thought In Practice, Stanley Wenocur
The Social Welfare Workers Movement: A Case Study Of New Left Thought In Practice, Stanley Wenocur
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Toward Partisan Politics In A Professional Association: Utility Of The Candidates Poll, L. K. Northwood, Howard Crockett
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial efforts of one local chapter, The Puget Sound Chapter; to engage in partisan politics by the conduct of a poll of candidates for election to the Washington State Legislature in 1974. Properly speaking, the Chapter endorsed no candidates, merely rated them from "weak" to "outstanding" on their agreement with NASW policies on relevant programs and their social welfare attitudes. Thus, it is a mild form of partisan politics that will be considered.
The paper will analyze the social and organizational context in which the candidates' poll occurred, and then report …
