Social Problems Process: Gun Control Activism
Discuss the practical dimensions of the social problems process: response by claimsmakers, the media, and elected officials to public opinion, including methods of measurement; how the opportunity to become an expert is often limited in the U.S.; competition for lawmakers' attention in policy domains and arenas; and the connection between social problems work and its subjects. Use a real-life example from this segment's content in which important feedback about a population's needs fails to reach policymakers and is left unattended by social problems work.
