This book sensitizes the reader to the fact that there is substantial disagreement within the academic community, and among policymakers and the general public, over what behaviors, conditions (e.g., physical attributes), and people should be designated as deviant or criminal. Normative conceptions, the societal reaction/labeling approach and the critical approach are offered as frameworks within which to study these definitions. The application of sociological theory to deviance is discussed in terms of strain perspectives, social control theories, interactionist perspectives, ecological perspectives and critical perspectives with regard to woman abuse, homicide, corporate crime, drug abuse and gangs. A comprehensive explanation of theory and social policy on deviance is constructed.
