Reviews
"Easy read and explanation of topics.""The text is well written and explains various behaviors in detail with examples for experiential learning opportunities", "It covered all of the major topics, but it did so in a unique way with unique and thought-provoking examples that appeal to my students.""It has complete coverage, it is an interesting read, it approaches certain topics with a unique perspective (e.g., the medicalization of mental illness), it is reasonably priced..", "The primary reason is because deviance is presented in terms of a social constructionist perspective. Most textbooks look at deviance from a functionalist or positivistic perspective. The examples used in the text are outstanding in terms of presenting the relative nature of deviance.""Besides the fact that it doesnt have ancillary materials (which might scare some instructors away), it challenges students to think critically about the subject matter.", "I adopted The Relativity of Deviance because of the relativistic perspective it provides, because of the interesting examples and topics covered, because its well-written and because it provides great opportunities and jump-off points for class discussion.""If you teach this course, you should teach it from multiple perspectives and this book offers a nicely packaged way to present the relativistic perspective of deviance."

Synopsis
The Relativity of Deviance is a primer on the constructivist perspective on deviance--the idea that deviance cannot be explained in terms of absolutes, nor can it be understood apart from its social setting. It explores some of the most frequent contexts for deviant behavior in ways that challenge definitive or objective judgments., This unique text uses historical and contemporary examples to demonstrate how deviance is socially constructed, depending on time, place, and situation., The Relativity of Deviance is a primer on the constructivist perspective on deviance--the idea that deviance cannot be explained in terms of absolutes, nor can it be understood apart from its social setting. The book is frequently used alongside all of the major core deviance textbooks on the market. It answers such questions as: What is deviant? What is deviant behavior? How should the deviant be treated? Why is the same act sometimes praised and sometimes condemned? Readers will see that what qualifies as deviance varies from place to place, time to time, and situation to situation. The book explores some of the most frequent contexts for deviant behavior in ways that challenge definitive or objective judgments. The Fifth Edition has been updated to include the most current developments in American society, including deviance at the highest levels of national politics and corporate life, sex abuse scandals, the opioid crisis, and the growing decriminalization of marijuana.
