More About This Textbook

Overview

Using the framework of interest group conflict, this text combines a balanced, comprehensive overview of the field of deviance with first-hand expertise in the workings of the criminal justice system. This new edition continues its tradition of applying time-tested, sociological theory to developing social concepts and emerging issues.

Every edition is thoroughly updated to reflect current research. Some exciting new changes to this edition include the following:

  • Chapter 7, “Deviant Drug Use,” now includes coverage of prescription drug abuse and performance enhancing drugs.
  • Chapter 8, “Mental Disorders,” now includes coverage of common mental disorders such as depression, phobias, and treatment.
  • Sociologist Sandra Harley Carey joins the author team and contributes a new Chapter 9, “Suicide,” which covers topics such as history, current attitude, risk factors, warning signs, physician-assisted suicide, and prevention.
  • Chapter 11, “Sexual Deviance,” now includes coverage of sexual harassment and the debate over gay marriage.
