Product Features
- <strong>Provide a comprehensive, up-to-date</strong> coverage of all aspects of deviance.
- For example, a new discussion of the death penalty as a deterrent for murder, new research that finds a difference in brain structures between gay people and straight people, a new review of 30 studies in various countries indicating that drug users are much more likely than nonusers to commit a crime, a recent study suggesting that the perpetrators of murder-suicide kill their victims as a way of demonstrating their dominance or control over them, new statistics showing many more billions of dollars being spent on drug law enforcement than on prevention and treatment.
- <strong>A lively writing style, real-life vignettes, critical analyses of theories and data, and student-oriented examples</strong> help lead to greater understanding of the material presented.
- The <strong>theories in the behavior chapters</strong> (Chs. 4-14) are shown as related to, rather than independent of, the general perspectives and theories in first three chapters enabling students to make connections.
- <strong>A unique organization.</strong> Traditionally, deviance texts are divided into only two parts, with a few theory chapters in the first part and then multiple chapters on diverse forms of deviant behavior lumped together into the second part. In this edition, <strong>Part I contains the theory chapters</strong>, and <strong>Parts II-VI are divided into five distinct parts</strong> as follows: (1) Interpersonal Violence, (2) Self-Targeted Deviance, (3) Diverse Lifestyles, (4) Drug Use, and (5) Inequality in Deviance.
- <strong>Connection between general theories and concrete deviances.</strong> The theories in the behavior chapters (Chapters 4-15) are shown how they are related to the general perspectives and theories in the first three chapters enabling students to make connections.
- Ask students to <strong>analyze their own assumptions</strong> about deviant behavior.
- The <strong>“Global Perspective”</strong> sections are found in each deviant behavior chapter (Chs. 4-14) compare deviance in the United States to deviance in other parts of the world—a critically important approach in the globalization of our lives and society today. The boxes include such deviances as homicide, homophobia, smoking, drinking, and organized crime.
- <strong>“Social Profile” sections</strong> are integrated in each behavior chapter (Chapters 4 -15). Each box spotlights a certain group of deviants such as suicide bombers, depressed teens, swinging couples, college binge drinkers, corporate crooks.
- <strong>Critical Thinking questions</strong> at the end of each chapter enable students to ponder what they have just learned about the subject and to develop new ways of seeing and understanding it. Such questions include, among others, “If in fighting the war on drugs you had to choose between law enforcement and prevention/treatment, which would you opt for? Why?”
