The book is frequently used alongside all of the major core deviance textbooks on the market. It answers such questions as: What is deviant? What is deviant behavior? How should the deviant be treated? Why is the same act sometimes praised and sometimes condemned? Readers will see that what qualifies as deviance varies from place to place  time to time  and situation to situation. The book explores some of the most frequent contexts for deviant behavior in ways that challenge definitive or objective judgments.  The Fifth Edition has been updated to include the most current developments in American society  including deviance at the highest levels of national politics and corporate life  sex abuse scandals  the opioid crisis  and the growing decriminalization of marijuana.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648104161333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1544309228","price":122.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781544309224.jpg?v=1781709533","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-relativity-of-deviance-9781544309224","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
