Dear Student,

Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular problem, I am assuming that you are being asked to elaborate on a psychology/research-based social policy program; after all, you are studying social psychology. This means we have to choose a particular program that is applicable and elaborate in it. There are a host you can choose from - organizational psychology to applied psychology in issues with justice and criminology - all of them indicate specific issues that, when resolved, can lead to social change. What you choose is really up to you. All that you need is to exemplify a program that fits the bill. Whatever you choose, you should utilize an outline. I suggest this:

1. The social issue you have in mind
2. The matching social policy
3. The research it is based on
4. A short review of the program
5. Recommendations you want to make to boost effectiveness

You can use the resources I have listed below to expand on the information provided here. Comments and feedback are appreciated so that the solution can be further improved to keep relevance with student requirements. Good luck with your studies.

Sincerely,
AE 105878/Xenia Jones
