Feature Summary
Organized around the "quality of life" theme, giving the book a sense of continuity and keeping it grounded on the fact that human beings are the chief victims of social problems and the chief beneficiaries of their solutions.
Unbiased and objective analysis of social problems does not favor one theoretical perspective over another.
"What is to be Done" sections go beyond the mere analysis of a problem, and encourage students to seek solutions by suggesting ways for ameliorating each problem discussed.
Global Comparisons boxes add a new dimension to students' understanding of a social problem by seeing the causes and effects in other nations.
Pedagogy--Learning Objectives, Focus Questions, Chapter Introductions, bold-faced terms, thematic Boxes, Chapter Summaries, Key Terms, Study Questions, For Further Reading, and Glossary.
