Which of the following characteristics describe the nature of public policy ?
(a) Policy may be narrow or broad.
(b) Policy may be specific or general.
(c) Policy may be positive or negative
Select the correct code :
Answer: C
The correct code is (a), (b) and (c).
Public policy varies along all three lines. A policy may be broad, such as a national education policy, or narrow, such as a rule on school uniforms (a). It may be general, setting out aims, or specific, laying down detailed actions (b). And it may be positive, some action the government takes, or negative, a deliberate decision not to act, which Thomas Dye's definition ('whatever governments choose to do or not to do') includes (c).
So any code leaving out one of the three statements is incomplete.
