Reviews
`I would say that while lesser books go straight to the 'deviance' aspect, this book does much more by addressing the 'sociology', situating the subject historically, culturally, and academically.' Jo Buckle, Glasgow Caledonian University `An excellent introduction to the sociology of deviance; it covers all the main theories and some that are not typically included with rich and varied examples.' Dr Luca Follis, Lancaster University Law School `I regard Understanding Deviance to be a triumph, a major achievement - and its reading essential to a balanced understanding of the field.' Erich Goode, Emeritus Professor, State University of New York at Stony Brook
