About the Book

<>This collection of diverse readings represents the full range of deviance sociology, dealing with many different theories as well as data collected via different research methodologies.   Designed for use as either a main text or a supplement, Readings in Deviant Behavior includes selections with high student-appeal. All of the readings have been carefully edited for clarity and conciseness to ensure that they are enjoyable and useful in helping students learn. The fifth edition features many new articles that reflect current trends, including those dealing with non-criminal deviance as well as those that emphasize the constructionist perspective.
