In particular, it focuses on how welfare policy is altered as it devolves from state policy makers to street-level bureaucrats in three local welfare agencies in Michigan. The analysis reveals that streetlevel bureaucrats in local welfare offices are in a position to interpret broadly stated goals handed down from officials, and, in some cases, to manage and grately influence the delivery of services when messages are mixed. The study also suggests that the actual policies or services delivered by frontline workers in welfare offices do not completely correspond with the poicy directives issued by state officials. - Reproduced.  aCivil service  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  a52840  c52840d52840  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 25, Issue no: 7pAR53270r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
