Social Problems eBook

In Social Problems: Community, Policy, and Social Action, Anna Leon-Guerrero provides a thorough exploration of the social problems that permeate our world today. The book is designed around three key connections: the link between sociology and the study of social problems, the relationship between social problems and their solutions, and the personal connection readers can make in recognizing and addressing social problems in their own communities. Each chapter focuses on a specific social problem, examining its roots in social inequality and its manifestations in various social policies and programs.

The Eighth Edition is enriched with personal stories of ordinary individuals who have accomplished extraordinary feats in their communities, providing readers with inspiration and guidance on how they too can make a difference.
