The new edition of this popular introduction explores the meaning
of social deviance in contemporary society. It traces the path by
which we create deviance: how we single out behavior, ideas, and
appearances that differ from the "norm," label them as either
offensive or acceptable, and then condemn or celebrate them. The
book explains what kinds of behavior are banned and who bans them,
exposing the important political influences underlying these
processes. Refreshed with a new engaging, accessible style, the
second edition features expanded treatment of the theories of
deviance, new material on positive deviance, and updated references
and contemporary examples throughout. At its core, Social Deviance
looks at who becomes deviant and why. It delves into the multiple
motives that cause rule-breakers to behave badly in the eyes of
those they offend or creatively in the eyes of those they please,
and it reveals the way deviants think about their actions, their
moral identity, and their fellow moral outcasts.
