The book explores the complex dynamics of granting discretionary powers to front-line professionals within the welfare state, highlighting the necessity and challenges of this delegation. It introduces an epistemic perspective to the traditional structural analysis of discretion, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between structural and epistemic accountability measures.
