Contemporary Social Policy
A case study is an in-depth investigation of a particular individual, group, event, or situation to explore complex issues in their real-life context. This method allows researchers to gather detailed qualitative data and insights that can help understand patterns and generate hypotheses, particularly in social policy evaluation. Case studies can provide a rich narrative and contextual background that numbers alone cannot convey, thus bridging quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques.
