Deviant Behavior is a well-structured and presented view of the issue of deviance. Suitable for not only undergraduate students, but postgraduate learners as well. It provides a comprehensive look at nature of deviance along with relevant theoretical perspectives associated with different forms of deviance.
This was a very very difficult decision. This book is excellent in providing concrete examples to apply theory to. It also is excellent in ending the chapter with an overview of how the theories apply.
The HUGE gap is the omission of critical theories such as feminism, critical race, and intersectionality from the contemporary theory.
Because i value having concrete examples to apply theory to, I am chosing this book. However, I know I will be adding a great deal of content to the course to make up for the missing critical theories.
