In-depth coverage of current issues, such as cyberbullying, mass shootings, Black Lives Matter, COVID-19, #MeToo, Indigenous issues, and political scandals, offers an engaging treatment of the latest ideas and theories. Praised for its accessibility, the text's student-friendly yet sophisticated writing style helps students new to the field grasp theoretical concepts. Fully updated with the most recent research, legislation, and examples.
