description	Garvin and Lee focus on the increasing demand to illustrate the policy-relevance of research. As they committed to applied social research, they reflect critically on the potential of such policy-relevant pressure to influence each stage of the research enterprise--from conceptualizing the problem, to collecting and analyzing data, as well communicating findings. Besides acknowledging the importance of policy-relevant work, they also consider how such an orientation can result in narrowing the research focus and parameters in ways that limit the understanding of social phenomena under study and undermine the creation of well-informed policies or programs geared toward social justice.
