Question

Should policy analysts try to deal with the fundamental causes of social problems such as crime, poverty, or homelessness, or aim instead for a more pragmatic and limited approach that may be more realistic, or more politically acceptable? Use your policy as an example and discuss the approach you think would be most effective.

Answer 1

The role of policy analysts is to interfere in public policy. Policy analyst can work in multi disciplinary subjects. She/he analyses and offer particular suggestions for policy issues. The intervention of social analyst in fundamental social problems like crime, poverty or homelessness is very important. She can directly intervene in the social issues. These problems affect the society with huge influence. On the other hand, the social analyst can intervene little approach which is more realistic than the other sense. If the little and realistic approach can be solved using direct intervention and clear information about the particular case.
Involving the second cases give more priority or experience to the employee. She can give more complements and ample information in this sense. For example, I am going to analyse about the educational background of a student, who scored very less marks in the exam. Actually this is a politically acceptable issue, because education can induce the next generation. In between the study, the analyst focuses on the economic and social background of the student. Going through in depth study, the analyst can get proper information about the whole family and the nearby society. The analyst collects data through direct contact ad face to face conversation. This leads to increase the personal relation between student and the analyst.
