Ebook: Deviant Behavior

This new edition of Deviant Behavior is designed to make teaching and learning as interesting and re-warding as possible. Deviant behavior is already by itself an exciting subject, but we have tried to make it more exciting with a simple, lively, and engaging style of writing. No matter how complex and dry the theories and data about deviance may appear in scholarly journals, gov-ernment reports, and most books, here they are presented in a fresh, straightforward style, with vivid and real-life contexts. In addition, stimulating, ironic, and thought- provoking remarks are often thrown in to make the book come alive. We have enjoyed working on this edition, and we hope that students will have fun reading it while learn-ing about deviance.
