Publisher's Synopsis
Since its first appearance Understanding Deviance has been immensely popular with students and teachers alike for the way it introduces a broad range of contemporary theories of crime, delinquency, social deviance and social control. Now updated and revised to include recent theoretical developments, the book offers students a stimulating and up-to-date guide to the principle theories of crime and social deviance in their British, European and North American contexts. This book is intended for students of sociology, criminology, social behaviour, social institutions, and social administration. Also law students, students of women's studies and scholars in all the above disciplines.
