Deviant Behavior

What makes behavior deviant, and who gets to decide what deviance is? \"Deviant Behavior\" seeks to answer these questions and more. This compelling new text delves into the social forces that shape deviance, exploring the motivations and consequences of deviant behaviors. Authors John A. Humphrey and Frank Schmalleger provide a comprehensive foundation for understanding how our definition of deviance evolves over time.

The book covers a wide range of deviant behaviors, from criminal acts to extreme forms of everyday behavior. It offers students the tools to understand the impact of globalization on both traditional and emerging forms of deviance. Through a systematic application of social and criminological theories, readers will gain insights into deviance in the modern world, enhancing their understanding of themselves, others, and society.
