Gambling

by Jill Hamilton (Editor)

Behind policy debate over welfare reform, AIDS funding and hate crime laws are people - people struggling with poverty, illness and discrimination. Illuminating the often-neglected human side of society's pressing problems, Social Issues Firsthand is a must-have series containing personal realities that broaden and balance readers' exposure to current social issues, such as homosexuality, poverty and suicide. Each anthology in the series presents a diverse collection of personal narratives written by individuals with first-hand experience in the topic being discussed, either as a participant, a witness or an involved professional. Terrorism, for example, includes the perspectives of terrorists, victims, families of victims and emergency workers.
