Social deviance does not involve just criminal behavior—it’s any behavior that violates a cultural norm, and that can involve something as minor as consistently and deliberately wearing lively mismatched socks.  Moreover, whether a crime, a sin, or simply unique taste, what’s considered deviant at one time and place can change, as when extensive tattooing and "body art" evolved from a sideshow carnival spectacle to a nearly universal rite of passage within U.S. culture.

Drawing contributions from across the social and behavioral sciences, including sociology, anthropology, criminology, politics, psychology, and religion, the** Encyclopedia of Social Deviance** introduces students to this lively field of rule-making and rebellion that strikes at the core of what it means to be an individual living in a social world. 

Key Features:

  • More than 300 articles are organized A-to-Z in two volumes available in both electronic and print formats. 
  • Articles, authored by key figures in the field, conclude with cross-reference links and further readings. 
  • Although organized A-to-Z, a thematic “Reader’s Guide” groups related articles by broad areas (e.g., Concepts; Theories; Research Methodologies; Individual Deviance; Organizational Deviance; etc.) as one handy search feature on the e-Reference platform, which also includes a comprehensive index of search terms.
