Social problems

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In everyday life and in sociology, social problems refer to very different disorders of social life, such as poverty , crime , addiction disorders and discrimination . The derivation of all these topics from the social question is no longer considered timely.

Social problems are under social control and are often the object of social work .

The journal Social Problems has been published on behalf of the relevant section of the German Society for Sociology since 1990 .
