Book Description:
|
Completely rewritten and simplified for the undergraduate, the second edition of this anthology of readings describes five major perspectives on social problems (social pathology, social disorganization, value conflict, deviant behavior, and labeling) and illustrates how each has been applied. Stimulating in its conceptualization of social problems, it enables students to generate possible solutions based on established sociological principles and to critically evaluate proposals by others.
