Internet addiction. Cell-phone-distracted drivers. Teen suicide.
Economic recession. The health risks of trans fats. The carefully
selected collection of case studies in Making Sense of Social
Problems is designed to help students understand and critically
evaluate a wide range of contemporary social issues. The cases are
organised to highlight a series of key elements: why "objective"
claims deserve critical attention how advocates bring attention to
issues why expert interpretations may change over time the role of
the media in shaping or distorting concerns the consequences of
public policy The introduction, conclusion, and section notes
provide a coherent framework for the text. Reflecting the promise
of the constructionist approach, the result is a powerful set of
tools for systematically investigating social problems. It can be
used to advantage as a "stand-alone," as well as with such texts as
Joel Best's Social Problems.
