Social Problems 5e

Social Problems, fifth edition, continues to explore the dynamics and consequences of social problems such as poverty, crime, sexism, addiction, and war that impact Canada and the rest of the world. Writing in the accessible and engaging style of previous editions, authors Lorne Tepperman and Josh Curtis are joined by Rachel La Touche to carefully examine each problem through a variety of theoretical paradigms. By exploring the broader implications of each problem under discussion, the authors offer students a comprehensive understanding of the consequences of—and potential solutions to—social issues that impact both individuals and the population at large.
