Abstract
There has been a lack of communication between leisure researchers and both its potential users and sponsors. From a policy perspective the important questions are relevance and focus: a framework is needed for considering different types of leisure research. One such framework is that of Breton, whose typology of public policy research is based on two dimensions: indirect (monitoring) or direct (intervention) influence, and institutional levels (concern with instrumentalities, organization or basic ideas and values). These two dimensions produce six types of policy research. An analysis of recent leisure research shows the relative popularity of these different types.
