商品簡介
Dowdall (sociology, St. Joseph's U., Philadelphia) investigates college drinking as a social problem within higher education. Based on research and the author's personal and academic experiences, the text differs from other studies by demonstrating that the problem is not universal but varies widely from campus to campus. Coverage includes an overview of the issue; why college students drink; the health consequences; alcohol-related campus crime; links between college drinking, social life, and sex; public alcohol policy; the response of higher education; possible further steps; and suggestions for students and parents. The revised edition makes the text available in paperback; includes a new preface, and a new afterword in which Dowdall highlights significant developments in each of the chapter topic areas, since the 2009 edition; and contains a revised appendix of current data on alcohol and crime. For administrators, public officials, parents, and students. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
