More specifically, our argument is that social policy makers assume an atypical gatekeepers role where, in this case, they must attempt to appropriate, translate, and filter social science research findings to relevant publics; however, the very act of doing so is most likely doomed to fail.	cache/epaa-394.pdf	txt/epaa-394.txt
