In 1945-1960, postwar emphasis included:

• A. Dismantling COP as a method.
• B. Integrating veterans into the community and COP emerging as a method.
• C. Privatization of welfare.
• D. No change in community organization.

Answer: (B)

During this period, the focus was on helping veterans adjust to civilian life and building organized ways to mobilize community resources to meet social needs. This era saw the development of a formal approach to community work, with Community Organization Practice taking shape as a distinct method social workers used to plan, implement, and advocate for community-wide solutions. The combination of veteran reintegration and the rise of COP best captures what postwar social welfare emphasized. In contrast, ideas about dismantling COP, privatizing welfare, or experiencing no change do not reflect the era’s push toward organized community action and increased public involvement in welfare.
