Homelessness policy (state e.g. WA, NSW, Vic)
Clearly choose a key policy, using the concepts and literature provided in this unit, and through your own independent research, undertake an analysis of the selected policy. Your analysis will:
· Provide a brief history of this policy in Australia, key moments of change in either the problem and/or the policy and key social and political drivers of that change.
· Describe and discuss the ideological influences apparent in the policy as it stands today (use the Fenna reading from assessment 1). Justify your selection.
· Provide an example of a similar response to this issue in another jurisdiction e.g. UK, USA
· Evaluate the extent to which this policy contributes to a more "socially just" Australia - this may require a definition of Social Justice found in the key readings.
The essay will follow formal essay structure including an introduction, a body with your main points, and a conclusion that summarizes your points and reiterates your position on the question of social justice.
The literature will include at a minimum the required reading for this unit, a primary source policy document, relevant textbook chapters on this policy topic and, 3 peer reviewed journal articles to add depth to your analysis. You cannot use sentences or quotes directly from web pages. Publications can be sourced from government web pages or non-government peak organization web pages which will need to be fully referenced.
