The best-selling social problem text; this book takes a critical, conflict perspective that looks at the social structures and inequalities that contribute to social problems.
A note from the authors:
Our overarching goal in Social Problems, 10th edition, is to capture the imagination of our readers. We want them not only to be interested in the topics, but also to become enthusiastic about exploring the intricacies and mysteries of social life. We want them, moreover, to incorporate the sociological perspective (imagination) into their explanatory repertoire.
We hope that you enjoy the new edition.
