One of Thatcher's legacies to social service organizations has been the restructuring of both public and voluntary organizations through legislation, privatization and changes in funding. Consequently, voluntary organizations have been forced to take on responsibilities once belonging to the public sector so that the voluntary sector now plays a substantial role in the provision of social care in Britain. As a result, academics, students and policy makers must now understand the similarities and differences between the two sectors. Organising Public and Voluntary Agencies includes essays drawn from years of research in the organization and management of governmental and voluntary welfare agencies. It offers theories which are crucial for an understanding of key problems which continue to plague governmental welfare agencies. Why are there chronic problems of accountability and standards of care? What is really meant by the term ``prevention''? More importantly, can social service departments survive the next century? David Billis presents a major new theory of voluntary organization based on a pioneering long term research program which demonstrates how the fundamental structure of voluntary organizations differ from those in the government sector, and examines the future of social policy into the next century.
