Investigating Social Problems

Investigating Social Problems

<em><strong>“Given the complexity of the issues, the study of social problems requires, indeed demands, specialized focus by experts.”<br /> -</strong></em><strong>A. Javier Treviño</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>Welcome to a new way of Investigating Social Problems.  </strong><br /> <br /> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: #1f497d;">In this groundbreaking new text, general editor A. Javier Treviño, working with a panel of experts, thoroughly examines all aspects of social problems, providing a contemporary and authoritative introduction to the field. Each chapter is written by a specialist on that particular topic. This unique, contributed format ensures that the research and examples provided are the most current and relevant in the field. The chapters carefully follow a model framework to ensure consistency across the entire text and provide continuity for the reader. The text is framed around three major themes: intersectionality (the interplay of race, ethnicity, class, and gender), the global scope of many problems, and how researchers take an evidence-based approach to studying problems.</span></p>
