This book takes as a starting point some of the most enduring social problems in the United States: poverty, race, education, gender, and sexuality and offers insight into their relationship to crime in American society. Drawing on the empirical evidence for each set of topics, researchers from across the nation offer insight to the challenges of understanding and solving crime in America.
An update of Understanding Contemporary Social Problems, this reader is designed to serve either as a supplement to a traditional textbook for courses on Social Problems or as a stand-alone text.
