Deviance

Social Constructions and Blurred Boundaries

Beschreibung

Deviance: Social Constructions and Blurred Boundaries is designed for for courses on social deviance that take a strong sociological perspective. The book draws on up-to-date scholarship across a wide spectrum of deviance categories, providing a symbolic interactionist analysis of the deviance process. The book addresses positivistic theories of deviant behavior within a description of the deviance process that encompasses the work of deviance claims-makers, rule-breakers, and social control agents.
