About this title

Synopsis

A contemporary collection of readings on deviant behavior

 

This user-friendly reader contains readings that have been carefully written for clarity and conciseness.  All of the articles reflect current trends in the sociology of deviance.  The authors examine both criminal deviance (such as robbery and white-collar crime) and noncriminal deviance (such as pornography and tattooing).

 

Deviance Today explores contemporary trends in the study of deviance such as the emphasis on the constructionist perspective and the greater use of ethnography.
