Social Problems

Social Problems

Drawing on the perspectives of multiple groups (rich, middle class, and poor; whites and people of color; gays and straights; females and males), Social Problems, 10/e examines troubled institutions, problems of inequality, conformity and deviance, and the problems of a changing world. Now available in paperback, this text familiarizes students with the most trying problems of their times, while stimulating them to think in a critical, scientific way.Review?I believe Coleman and Kerbo definitely has the student in mind when writing this text. On a practical level, the chapters are clear and concise-and short, which while I hate to admit, is a benefit in the eyes of many students. However, there is no sacrifice when it comes to the quality of the material. This is a particularly difficult balance to strike, and the authors have done it nicely in that respect.?-Christine Janis, Northern Illinois University
