Science, Policy, and Practice: Three Cultures in Search of a Shared Mission.
Shonkoff, Jack P.
Child Development, v71 n1 p181-87 Jan-Feb 2000
Discusses how child development research, social policy design, and human service delivery for children and families reflect three separate yet related cultures. Argues that transmitting knowledge from the academy to social policy and practice could be facilitated by a simple taxonomy differentiating established knowledge from both reasonable hypotheses and unwarranted or irresponsible assertions made in the name of science.
