Caputo (2014) explores the importance of evaluating and matching policy proposals to social problems. To pragmatically apply the concepts and approaches offered by Caputo, you will:
1- Identify a public policy or program that addresses the social problem you selected in Module 2.
Barriers to employment of those with criminal record
2- Consider the eligibility criteria of the policy or program by addressing the following questions:
a. What ideological assumptions are driving the purported or stated link between the target beneficiaries of the program or policy?
b. What does this tell us about the cultural and political environment in which the policy or program was originally adopted and about contemporary society?
c. What changes, if any, would you recommend to advance social, racial, gender, economic, or environmental justice?
Your post should be grounded in the course materials and reference them as sources. Be sure to demonstrate critical and analytical thought as you discuss the prompts.
