From the Back Cover
Deviant Behavior, 9/E
Alex Thio, Ohio University
ISBN: 0205512585
Publisher: Allyn & Bacon
This best-selling text offers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of deviance and is noted for its blend of style and substance.
Deviant Behavior covers a wide spectrum of theories of deviance, and analyzes numerous specific deviant behaviors. The author presents an abundance of research data, including many items that debunk our common assumptions about deviant behavior. Students are exposed to the full range of theories and data on deviance, and are challenged to think about and evaluate their own biases and preconceptions.
As with every edition, this text has been thoroughly updated. Some of these updates include:
- A new chapter on Internet deviance is included. This chapter showcases important and interesting topics on various aspects of cyberdeviance.
Examples include seeking easy money online, searching cyberspace for sex, expressing hate online, and disrupting computer networks.
- A box containing a series of “Myth and Reality” statements appears at the beginning of each of the behavior chapters. These myths and realities are also discussed within those chapters.
Examples include:
Myth: When women kill their husbands, it is mostly because their victims have cheated on them.
Reality: Women rarely kill in response to their husbands’ infidelity. They usually send their husbands to the hereafter as a desperate attempt to get out of an abusive relationship.
- Interesting subjects crucial to today’s world are discussed throughout the text.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
