Constructionist theory describes and analyzes social problems as
emerging through the efforts of claimsmakers who bring issues to
public attention. By typifying a problem and characterizing it as a
particular sort, claimsmakers can shape policymaking and public
response to the problem. Th is new edition of Images of Issues
addresses claimsmaking in the 1990s, featuring such issues as
fathers' rights, stalking, sexual abuse by the clergy, hate crimes,
multicultural education, factory farming, and concluding with an
expanded discussion of the theoretical debate over constructionism.
