Social Policy and Social Problems

 

This authoritative and accessible text provides a contemporary introduction to social problems with a close look at social policies.

 

Respected scholars William Kornblum and Joseph Julian introduce the major trends and future outlook for each social problem by looking at them from a global perspective and “big picture” view. Social policies devised to address social problems--and their consequences--are examined in depth by presenting the key research conducted to examine, explain and alleviate today's social problems.

From the Publisher:
This updated version of the bestselling text probes the nature and causes of each major social problem and then explores social control and social action with respect to each particular problem. Each chapter reflects a micro to macro approach, pointing out the interrelationships among today's social problems and the possibility of approaching them from several perspectives.
