Social Problems: A Case Study Approach

by Norman A. Dolch (Editor), N Ree Wells (Contributor), Aaron Young (Contributor)

In these 14 case studies and supporting explanatory text, contributors describe recent social changes and problems and prepare undergraduate readers to respond with summaries (that can become discussion questions) and references. The contributors cover a range of issues such as mental illness, sexuality and social problems, drugs, crime and delinquency, gender inequality, families, aging, minorities, health care, the economy, poverty, education, population change and terrorism, the result being a flexible reader for a variety of applications in undergraduate-level social sciences courses or for students of social work.
