Abstract:
"Deviance and Social Control: A Sociological Perspective, Third Edition provides a sociological examination of deviance and social control in society. Authors Michelle Inderbitzin, Kristin A. Bates, and Randy Gainey use sociological theories to illuminate a variety of issues related to deviant behavior and societal reactions to deviance, including introductions to classic and current sociological theories as well as research on definitions and causes of deviance and reactions to deviant behavior. The unique text/reader format provides the best of both worlds, offering both substantial original chapters that clearly explain and outline the sociological perspectives on deviance, paired with carefully selected articles on deviance and social control taken directly from leading academic journals and books"--
