Contemporary Canadian Social Issues, 2nd Edition
Instructor Review Copy

Contemporary Canadian Social Issues, 2nd Edition

Carmen Niessen, Rebecca Jaremenko Bromwich
Available

Carmen Niessen and Rebecca Bromwich combine sociological theory with legal and practical expertise in this new edition of Contemporary Canadian Social Issues. They continue to offer instruction on how to identify social problems. This text examines ways of analyzing these problems through various sociological perspectives, applying them to a variety of important issues in Canadian society. Students are encouraged to form responses to these issues, as well as respond to those of various social groups. Students will gain the ability to approach issues encountered in their future careers — in policing, corrections, private security, and beyond — in a professional, sensitive, and appropriate manner.
