Book Review: Substance Use and Abuse: Sociological Perspectives by Victor N. Shaw (2002)

Substance Use and Abuse: Sociological PerspectivesSubstance Use and Abuse: Sociological Perspectives by Victor N. Shaw
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Not a bad one but it appears that only few people have read this book. Each chapter discusses a major sociological approach to substance use and abuse (alcohol, heroin, etc). Each chapter also offers ways of applying each theoretical perspective in research and practice. However, as a whole, the book lacks a sense of critique and that may not attract people who like discussing sociological theories.
