Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Are "deviant" and "criminal" behaviors inherently wrong or evil? Taking an innovative cross-cultural approach, Deviance Across Cultures spans the globe to give instructors an invaluable new resource for investigating the social construction of deviance. From studies on prostitution and drugs to examinations of religion and corporate deviance, this anthology--a collection of both classic and contemporary articles--responds to the growing need for interdisciplinary and global learning in deviance studies. To create a strong framework for inquiry, editor Robert Heiner has written a comprehensive introduction to each article that emphasizes the topic's relationship to theory and to ongoing trends affecting the United States and other countries. Throughout, careful attention to distant cultures will encourage students to understand deviance from an academic--and less emotional--perspective. Ideal as either a main text or a supplementary reader, this collection builds on classic deviance theory and basic sociological concepts to introduce students to this complex subject. With its rich global perspective, Deviance Across Cultures will challenge and expand students' assumptions about social deviance--both at home and abroad.

Recenzii

"One of the reasons I am enthusiastic about the Heiner reader is that the articles are more likely to capture the attention of undergraduates because of their cross-cultural content. We can learn a great deal about deviance in the U.S. by examining deviance elsewhere."--Mark Stafford, University of Texas at Austin
"The major strength of [this book] is the international and cross-cultural approach to deviance. The texts that I currently use do not adequately address this question, and yet the argument that deviance is socially constructed is one of the key elements of this course."--Karen McCormack, Wellesley College
"I believe Deviance Across Cultures will be welcomed by the academy as a carefully composed, much-needed expansion of the conversation on the subject."--Michael J. Bolton, Marymount University
