Deviant Behavior - Hardback

--Deviant Behavior offers an engaging and wide-ranging discussion of deviant behavior, beliefs, and conditions. --Encompasses both the explanatory (or positivist) approach and the constructionist (or labeling) perspectives, thereby lending a broad and inclusive vista on deviance. --Explores how society defines what constitutes political deviance; and political deviance and its relation to social change. --Up to date: two chapters new to this edition, along with other timely topical updates throughout the chapters. --Although disease as potential deviance has been covered previously, new coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic greatly expands discussions of this topic. --Written by a renowned scholar of social deviance, the text has been praised as authoritative and accessible.
