About this book

Social Deviance: Readings in Theory and Research (4th Edition) by Pontell, Henry N.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780130407740.

Comprised of 46 classic and contemporary sociological readings, this anthology discusses theories of deviance and studies of deviant behavior. The theoretical portion describes functionalism and anomie, symbolic interactionism and labeling, conflict theory, learning, and feminism. Among the deviant behaviors described are alcohol and drug use, sexual deviance, common crime and social control, white-collar and corporate crime, and mental disorder. The text itself is deviant: it lacks an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
