The Cambridge Handbook of Social Problems
by
The introduction of the Affordable Care Act in the United States, the
increasing use of prescription drugs, and the alleged abuse of racial
profiling by police are just some of the factors contributing to
twenty-first-century social problems. The Cambridge Handbook of Social
Problems offers a wide-ranging roster of the social problems currently
pressing for attention and amelioration. Unlike other works in this
area, it also gives great consideration to theoretical and
methodological discussions. This Handbook will benefit both
undergraduate and graduate students eager to understand the sociology of
social problems. It is suitable for classes in social problems, current
events, and social theory. Featuring the most current research, the
Handbook provides an especially useful resource for sociologists and
graduate students conducting research.
