Product Description
Budding with new insight, this top-selling, proactive book probes the nature and causes of each major social problem confronting citizens today, and, with historical and multicultural sensitivity, delves into the social control and social action issues inherent to each particular problem. Balancing viewpoints and supporting material with research and policy, each chapter covers topics in a micro to macro format, pointing out the interrelationships among today's social problems and the possibility of approaching them from several perspectives. Chapter topics include sociological perspectives on social problems; problems of physical health; mental illness; sex-related social problems; alcohol and other drugs; crime and criminals; violence; poverty amid affluence; racism, prejudice, and discrimination; sex roles and inequality; an aging society; the changing family; problems of education; problems of work and the economy; urban problems; population and immigration; technology and the environment; and war and terrorism. For individuals looking to understand today's social problems—and help solve them.

 Not bad, but expensive. ( oylie )
If you're buying this book, it's probably because it's a required textbook. As far as textbooks go this isn't bad. It's written in fairly easy to understand language and has a decent glossary at the end. It also has many color illustrations. That being said, it's still a paperback and a very expensive one at that. It was extremely frustrating as a relatively poor college student, being forced to pay so much for a book that the instructor barely used. My advice is to find a used copy if you can.

 social problems a down to earth approach
I have yet to recieve my book and I ordered it back in July. My class starts this Monday on August 25th and I am going without a book to class. I have never had any problems getting my books through amazon except now.

Save lots of money, order your college texts from Amazon! ( ckeiling )
I get my college textbooks at a fraction of the cost than buying them on campus. I get my books quickly, in good condition, and just as promised. This book was no exception. It came 5 days after my order was placeed, it was in great condition, and just the text I needed.

Extremely educational... ( goodtimevideo )
This book is full of unfortunate truths, but things people should know if they wish to know the truth about the world around them. The statistics came in handy for subsequent paper writing, references and for fast fact information to spout to others.
