Reviews
Stuart Henry has done a remarkable job of introducing the student to what is perhaps the most intriguing subject in the undergraduate curriculum. Pick up this book and read it. It is a brisk, engaging, and informative account of normative violations and their aftermath. Our students will enjoy and learn from it. Erich Goode, State University of New York at Stony Brook This second edition arrives at a propitious time, when our social fabric is being questioned on moral, ethical, and political grounds like never before. It does a superb job of contextualizing deviance among contemporary issues, allowing students to embrace the key concepts in the field, to understand the complexity of the issues, and to apply these ideas to their everyday lives. Well written and jargon free, with excellent examples to get its point across, it stands unmatched in its enunciation of the complexities of deviant behavior in a straightforward manner. Peter Adler, University of Denver
Stuart Henry has done a remarkable job of introducing the student to what is perhaps the most intriguing subject in the undergraduate curriculum--the sociology of deviance. Yes, deviance is alive and well. Pick up this book and read it. It is a brisk, engaging, and informative account of normative violations and their aftermath. Our students will enjoy and learn from it. Erich Goode, State University of New York at Stony Brook The second edition of this book arrives at a propitious time in history, when our social fabric is being questioned on moral, ethical, and political grounds like never before. Henry and Howard have, once again, done a superb job of contextualizing deviance among contemporary issues. Social Deviance allows students to embrace the key concepts in the field, to understand the complexity of the issues, and to be able to apply these ideas to their everyday lives. It is well written and uses simple, non-jargonized language with excellent examples to get its point across. Like the first edition, it stands unmatched in its enunciation of the complexities of deviant behaviour in a straightforward manner. Peter Adler, University of Denver (Emeritus)
