Teach students to use evidence and insights to understand sociological phenomena. Sociology: Evidence and Insights guides students to analyse society through a combination of data and classic and contemporary sociological perspectives.

In today's era of "alternative facts" and "fake news," authors Timothy Curry, Robert Jiobu and Cynthia Fabrizio Pelak give students the tools to distinguish between sociological insights and claims not supported by data. By prompting readers to make evidence-based arguments from different sociological perspectives, the text empowers students to bridge the great political and social divides that characterise our world today.
