I am resurrecting and expanding a course I last taught in 1998: Child Development and Social Policy. I know about the SRCD science and policy briefs, which are excellent resources. But I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an up-to-date book that addresses the topic of child development and social policy in a manner similar to H. Rudolph Shaffer's (1998) Making Decisions about Children, or J. Lawrence Aber's (2007) Child development and social policy: Knowledge for action. I haven't found anything more recent by searching databases or google.
