About

Focus and Scope

The Journal of Social Intervention: Theory and Practice is an academic journal that aims to make available academic research and reflections on practice in social intervention in The Netherlands and Flanders to an international readership of academics and professionals. The journal focuses on the interface between social policy, organizational innovation, development of methods and professional practice.

The target readership of the journal includes teachers in higher vocational and university education, academics from a range of disciplines, practising social workers and policy officials involved in solving social issues as part of their work.
