Overview
Social Problems examines social structure and the underlying features of the social world in order to help you understand the problems of society. Employing a consistently sociological approach, authors D. Stanley Eitzen, Maxine Baca Zinn and Kelly Eitzen Smith explain how social problems are interrelated, and highlight society's role in their creation and perpetuation.
In order to help you achieve a balanced understanding of contemporary social problems, the 14th Edition has been updated with coverage of major events of the last several years. Examples of topics receiving new and updated coverage include transgender and intersex issues, marijuana legalization, and the growing gap between the rich and poor, among other issues.
