Learning Styles Inventory—In-text study strategies to help students explore how they learn and how to use these strategies for more effective study. The study tips are located in the margins with an icon for each different learning style:

~ Verbal/Linguistic–Learners that use words to retain material and rely on comprehensive notetaking.

~ Logical/Mathematical–Learners that require a very structured, organized and logical presentation of material.

~ Visual/Spatial–Learners that retain best when material is presented in a graphic or visual format.

~ Interpersonal–Material stays with these learners best when learned and reviewed actively with others.

Built in Study Guide–Found at the end of each chapter. Each study guide includes end of chapter summaries, key term matching exercises, and multiple choice and true-false questions.

~ Enables students to immediately test their knowledge of the material before moving on to the next chapter and helps students focus their study time without the need for an additional study guide.

Offers the best textbook value–Affordably priced.

Emphasis on critical thinking–What Do You Think? Boxes and Critical Thinking Questions (indicated by CQ icon).

~ Reinforce and challenge students' understanding of topics under discussion and helps them to develop their sociological imagination. This focus on critical thinking encourages students to ask questions about issues facing society.

Comparison of Theoretical Perspectives–For sections on inequality and social institutions. For each topic, where applicable, the table compares the three major theoretical perspectives emphasized in the text.

~ Provides students with a way to systematically compare the three perspectives across different topics.

Full chapter on Deviance and Crime–Includes expanded treatment of crime and crime rates and new material on the criminal justice system.
