Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In this fresh new look at current public policy issues, the contributors of this volume describe how data used to shape public policy has been ignored, misinterpreted, denied, or made up to suit particular political purposes. These sharply focused essays examine affirmative action, sexual harassment, domestic violence, and welfare, and show how the relevant data has been subject to misuse by policy makers with radical agendas. In an era of contentious public debate on gender issues, the social facts and data presented here are not only welcome but essential.
