Críticas

In Drugs, Alcohol, and Social Problems, Orcutt and Rudy have compiled fourteen articles illustrating the rich and diverse nature of drug and alcohol problems present within sociological discourse. The articles in this text represent valuable contributions to the study of drug and alcohol problems. They are readings that all students and scholars in the drug and alcohol field will appreciate. Those interested in the social construction of social problems will find this book particularly satisfying. * The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare * The fascinating studies in this book bring much needed sociological imagination to bear upon the processes that shape drug and alcohol problems. Professionals and students alike will find first-rate scholarship and accessible writing that shake up drug war stereotypes. -- Craig Reinarman, UC-Santa Cruz

Reseña del editor

The 14 clearly written articles included in this collection exemplify the best of sociological scholarship on drug and alcohol problems. The readings strike a balance between constructionist, epidemiological, and ethnographic approaches to the study of drinking, drug use, and related problems such as domestic violence, crime, and the spread of HIV/AIDS.
