About this book

Mooney/Clever/Hipes' "Understanding Social Problems" 12th Edition, asks you to think through the dynamics of social problems from many viewpoints and arrive at your own understanding informed by data, policy, theory and critical thinking. This up-to-date edition provides empirically-based discussions on important social issues in the world today. Chapters will ask you what you think about social problems related to healthcare, drugs and alcohol, families, crime and violence, racial, ethnic and gender inequality, LGBTQ+ status and more macro issues of poverty and economic inequality, population growth and aging, the environment, science and technology and world conflict. Chapter-opening vignettes "Music and Meaning" and "Self and Society" features encourage you to think about how social problems affect individuals and to apply your understanding of social problems to your own life.
