Social Constructionist Theory has become a transcendent perspective
appearing in a variety of disciplines from sociology, psychology
and psychotherapy, to geography, political science and
post-modernism. It integrates the symbolic interactionist tradition
of social psychology with the labeling theory from the sociology of
deviance, and with sociological phenomenology, to provide insight
into the ways social interaction becomes objective social reality,
constitutive of social institutions and culminating in social
structure. When applied to crime and justice, as in this volume,
the theoretical penetration of mundane activities allow us to see
how crime, justice and penalty emerge as anchoring concepts, while
also showing the arbitrary nature of these social formations that
have such an important impact on everyday people's lives. The
volume is organized to examine: the classical roots of
constructionist theory in the work of Alfred Schutz and popularized
by Berger and Luckmann; its applications to the sociology of
deviance though the works of Becker and Goffman; and the important
deviations into the methodology made by Garfinkel as well as
reflections on its current standing in criminological theory.
