SynopsisBeginning with the premise that the definition of deviance is fluid and depends on the time and place of those trying to define it, this text discusses specific behaviors in the context of interest group conflict. The first three chapters provide a theoretical perspective on deviance. The second sec, Deviant Behavior combines a balanced, comprehensive overview of the field of deviance with first-hand expertise in the workings of the criminal justice system. Using the framework of interest group conflict, the text surveys a wide range of topics, from violent crime and organizational deviance to sexual behavior, mental health, and substance abuse.
