This insightful exploration of social deviance delves into the complexities of norm violation and societal reactions. Examining a wide range of deviant behaviors, it provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical perspectives, including functionalist, conflict, and interactionist approaches. The book analyzes the social construction of deviance, exploring how power dynamics, cultural values, and labeling processes shape our understanding of what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behavior. With updated research and contemporary examples, “Social Deviance” offers a critical analysis of crime, substance abuse, mental illness, and other forms of social transgression, making it an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in understanding the dynamics of social control and the challenges of maintaining social order.
