This book is written in praise of the criminal; a unique kind of
criminal, who is motivated not by personal gain, but ethical
altruism. Deviant heroes are those individuals who violate unjust
norms and laws, facing the repercussions of social control,
effecting positive social change in the process. Using a method
that examines how the biographies of individual deviants
intersected with history, it probes how criminals and deviants have
been on the leading edge of important, positive social changes and
the creation of a more just, fair, and humane society. Brian Wolf
concludes with an examination of the problem of conformity and how
deviant heroism in everyday life may be a remedy for injustice in
micro-level social contexts.
