Social Policy examines the ways in which societies distribute resources and develop services to meet individual and social needs. Key social policy issues examined include poverty, economic, race, age and gender inequality, social justice health, education, criminal justice and housing.

It draws on disciplines such as history, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, psychology, social anthropology and politics.
