Books by Melvin (Professor of Social Work Delgado

Urban Gun Violence explains the abuse of automatic weapons and identifies way to mitigate this abuse.

This is the first "serious"/"academic" book to address the subject of sanctuary cities in the United States. The topic is of immense saliency in the socio-political discourse in the United States, with events breaking practically every week concerning the fate of those who are undocumented in this country (including people with DACA statuses). The text provides a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the national issue that promises to continue to stay in the publicglare during 2018 and beyond.

This text offers a paradigm shift for social workers, showing that service delivery can take place in any setting, formal or informal, and emphasizing an integrated multicultural perspective.
