Synopsis
This is a revision of Heiner's brief introduction to social problems, a basic sophomore level course taught in virtually all sociological curricula. This book frames the discussion of Social Problems by looking at the four main issues that make up the "canon" - inequality, family problems, crime and deviance, and overpopulation and the environment - from a critical constructionist perspective. The revision will focus on updating examples in relation to current events and adding photographs, while still remaining brief to maintain its niche in the social problems market.
