Abstract:
The annual British Social Attitudes survey provides an indispensable guide to current political and social issues in contemporary Britain. Compiled by Britain's largest independent social research institute, the National Centre for Social Research, it describes and reviews a broad range of current social attitudes and values derived from extensive nation-wide interviews. This 19th Report summarizes and interprets data from the most recent survey and draws invaluable comparisons with findings of previous years. The most comprehensive review of changing British social values available, the British Social Attitudes survey report is an essential reading for anyone seeking a guide to the topical issues and debates of today or engaged in contemporary social and political research.
