Updated with nine new end-of-chapter case studies and more than 50
new boxed examples, the Third Edition of Joel Best's Social
Problems elucidates the complex, competitive process through which
social problems emerge, paying particular attention to how
resources and rhetoric affect each stage of the process. Drawing on
social constructionist theory, Best shows how activists, experts,
and their opponents engage in claimsmaking, and how the media then
report on these claims, prompting public reaction and driving
policy. In order to help students connect theory to everyday life,
Joel Best fills the book with colorful examples and real-world case
studies.
