beyond the straight and narrow

Edición de la obra Deviance, crime, and control

"Deviance, Crime, and Control is designed to serve as the core text for courses in deviance at the undergraduate level in departments of sociology and criminology. Each chapter introduces a particular form of deviance and is followed by a detailed discussion that takes into account both practical issues (demographic and social characteristics, social and health consequences, the costs and benefits of various 'solutions' and regimes of control) and different theoretical perspectives."--Jacket.
