This is a beginning undergraduate level introduction to social problems. Author Leon-Guerrero (Pacific Lutheran U.) structures the material around three "connections:" the connection between sociology and the study of social problems, connections between social problems and how they are addressed through social policy; and connections between the reader and social problems and social policy in his or her own community. Chapters are presented on social class and poverty, race and ethnicity, gender, age and aging, families, education, work and the economy, health and medicine, the media, alcohol and drug abuse, crime and criminal justice, cities and suburbs, the environment, war and terrorism, and social action. The focus is on social problems in the United States, but each chapter includes a comparative international case study. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
