Current and Canadian, this text explores the dynamics and consequences of social problems-such as poverty, unemployment, crime, drug abuse, health, war, and terrorism-that impact Canada and the rest of the world. Each problem is examined through a variety of theoretical paradigms before its impact both on individuals and society as a whole is explored.
