Module 7 Discussion: Policy in the 1980s and 1990s

As was discussed in the lectures and in the readings, there were several federal policies passed during the 1980s and 1990s that relate to interpersonal violence. In your discussion, please address the following:

• If you could travel back in time and help revise one of the policies discussed in either the lecture or readings in the 1980s or 1990s, which one would you want to help revise? Why did you pick this one? Describe which policy you chose and why.
• In what way would you revise it? Describe what changes you would make to it and why.

Responses: (once the writing part is done, I will send the 2 peer posts so you can respond to each)

Comment on these two peers responses to the same questions, separately.

In your replies, please address the following:

What does your peer’s discussion show you about how people learn about bills? What is the importance for learning about how bills are made into laws for non-social workers?

Please remember:

• Writing should be thoughtful, reflective, and should make connections with the assigned topic. You are expected to think critically and cite information from the readings including those found in the module and those assigned for the discussion.
• Writing must be supported by your readings and properly cited (authors last name and year of article). Do not use any direct quotes.
