About this title

Synopsis

This book focuses primarily on social control--society's tendency to identify and control the behavior of certain types of citizens-- framed within a social constructionist perspective based on several assumptions. The text focuses on five social categories --law, health, sexuality, race, and education--in which it discusses how definitions of unconventionality are formed and how they influence the control of certain categories of people.
