{"product_id":"social-deviance-lindsay-m-howard-9781509523511","title":"Social Deviance","description":"The new edition of this popular introduction explores the meaning of social deviance in contemporary society. It traces the path by which we create deviance: how we single out behavior, ideas, and appearances that differ from the \"norm,\" label them as either offensive or acceptable, and then condemn or celebrate them. The book explains what kinds of behavior are banned and who bans them, exposing the important political influences underlying these processes. Refreshed with a new engaging, accessible style, the second edition features expanded treatment of the theories of deviance, new material on positive deviance, and updated references and contemporary examples throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At its core, \u003ci\u003eSocial Deviance\u003c\/i\u003e looks at who becomes deviant and why. It delves into the multiple motives that cause rule-breakers to behave badly in the eyes of those they offend or creatively in the eyes of those they please, and it reveals the way deviants think about their actions, their moral identity, and their fellow moral outcasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Henry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509523510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509523511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Stuart Henry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042356982015,"sku":"9781509523511","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddda39fe-91f3-484e-a56d-e703ff0d54f5.jpg?v=1684961035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-deviance-lindsay-m-howard-9781509523511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
