Key Benefit: This book is about applied sociology and the use of sociological research to help solve practical problems that we confront in the world. An important theme of the book is the interplay between social research and social policy in the development of solutions to problems. Key Topics: The three major theoretical perspectives in sociology—functionalist, conflict, and interactionist perspectives—are featured as tools for the reader to use in understanding why problems arise and assessing solutions to problems.
