Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Fifteen contributions from academics and practitioners discuss the ways in which organizations respond to social problems. Some of the papers focus on inter-organizational relations among health care and community development organizations while others consider the relationships between criminal justice and medical organizations and their clients. A sampling of topics includes a government/non-profit partnership model for HIV/AIDS prevention in the Latino community, the role of broker organizations, and addressing the psychiatric needs of incarcerated youth. The volume is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
