Sociologists examine topics encompassing a vast array of human behavior: crime and punishment, the formation and dissolution of families, bureaucracy in organizations, conflicts between classes, and global inequalities. Sociology for Professionals is distinctive in its focus on assisting people already in helping professions to advance their career with a degree. These contexts include tailored explorations of areas such as generation, occupation, gender, religion, sexual orientation, family, health, nation, race and ethnicity, and many others.
