About this title

Synopsis

This reader offers an emphasis on solving social problems by looking at other countries, a topic that is lacking in most Social Problems books. The readings included are from other societies and demonstrate successful alternatives for overcoming the social problems that plague the United States. For anyone interested in cross-cultural sociology or social problems.

From the Back Cover

Solutions to Social Problems is the only reader on the market to look at how other countries solve their social problems in order to help the U.S. solve its own. These 35 interesting and insightful articles are organized around 13 problem areas, such as poverty and health care. Each section is introduced with a US comparison, to give the reader proper context.

The third edition features a new section on sexual orientation. Twenty-three additional new selections address topics that include: early retirement, work-life policies and programs in Europe, best practices for reducing crime, taxes on wealth, U.S. vs. Australian fisheries, and wind power.
