This reference is designed to give the reader a sound introduction
to the debates and issues in which sociologists engage. Key
concepts in areas such as social stratification, crime and
deviance, culture and identity, mass media, power and politics, and
religion are defined and explained. Each entry begins with a
one-sentence definition and goes on to provide illustrative
examples of the concept or an introduction to the major points in
support or criticism of it. The length of the entry usually depends
on the relative importance of the concept and often on the degree
of controversy it arouses. Illustrations and tables are provided to
further aid understanding; and entries are cross-referenced.
