Synopsis
Abortion, capital punishment, gambling, homosexual rights, pornography, physician-assisted suicide, and sex education are among the most controversial issues facing public policymakers today. All involve controversial questions of basic principle/morality--When does life begin? Is gambling inherently evil? Should homosexuality be on a moral and legal par with heterosexuality? Mooney brings together top researchers in the field to explore the unique characteristics and politics of morality policy. The result is a definition of the current state of knowledge in the field and a guideline for future practice.
