Contemporary Social Problems

Parrillo uses an eclectic and comprehensive blend of theoretical viewpoints to analyze contemporary problems, shows how social problems are socially constructed, and provides many cross-cultural examples of problems in other societies. Brief sociohistorical perspectives at the beginning of each chapter show how the extent of problems in the U.S., as well as our perception of them, have changed over time.Parrillo, Vincent N. is the author of 'Contemporary Social Problems', published 1985 under ISBN 9780318594460 and ISBN 0318594463.
