How Can We Solve Our Social Problems?

By James A. Crone

Book Overview

"Rarely do I find a book that so clearly and concisely presents the material is such an accessible engaging manner. I just hope it never goes out of print "
- Chris Adamski-Mietus, Western Illinois University

Many of today's social problems--poverty, crime, racism, sexism, drug abuse, unequal access to quality health care or education, threats to the environment, over-population--can seem intractable. James A. Crone's How Can We Solve Our Social Problems?, Third Edition is designed to give students studying these types of social problems a sense of hope. Unlike the standard survey texts that focus heavily on the causes and consequences of problems, this book is devoted to analyzing possible solutions. It maintains a sense of sociological objectivity throughout, and without moralizing, describes what could be done in America and on a global scale, through government policies, private sector initiatives, and the collective actions of citizens, to address even our most pervasive social problems.

Very good book, but really going to happen

I have this book for m sociology class. It is a good and well written book which lays out sociological theories and applies them to how to solve social problems, BUT just like any other thing...if this is the answer to all the worlds problems, then how come no one has done anything about it.
