Social Problems

Taking a conflict approach, Social Problems, 13e examines social problems, how they are interrelated to other problems, and society's role in their creation and perpetuation. This text addresses interesting subjects, such as corporate crime, urban decay, poverty and the changing economy. The thirteenth edition focuses more deliberately on five major themes: the structural sources of social problems; the role of the United States in global social problems; the centrality of class, race, gender, sexuality, and disability as sources of division, inequality, and injustice; the critical examination of society; and solutions to social problems.
