In Understanding Deviance, Seventh Edition, leading experts David Downes, Paul Rock, and Eugene McLaughlin examine the major sociological theories behind crime and deviance, covering their development, recent research, and varying perspectives on their explanations of criminality. The authors discuss key debates in depth, challenging students to question assumptions and explore new avenues of scholarship. An extensive bibliography provides references to a wide range of both classic and lesser-known texts.

Industry Reviews

`I would say that while lesser books go straight to the 'deviance' aspect, this book does much more by addressing the 'sociology', situating the subject historically, culturally, and academically.' Jo Buckle, Glasgow Caledonian University `An excellent introduction to the sociology of deviance; it covers all the main theories and some that are not typically included with rich and varied examples.' Dr Luca Follis, Lancaster University Law School `I regard Understanding Deviance to be a triumph, a major achievement - and its reading essential to a balanced understanding of the field.' Erich Goode, Emeritus Professor, State University of New York at Stony Brook
