Deviance is one of the most important, exciting and stimulating areas in sociology. It covers the entire spectrum of activities and people who are disvalued, denigrated, punished, ostracized, and in other ways made to feel undesired and undesirable in society - whether this be for something that was done (as the commission of a crime), or for some peculiar stigmatic status. It extends into criminology, social problems, social pathology, and numerous other areas. Despite many texts, readers, and countless journal articles, there has never been a serial publication devoted exclusively to deviance. It is to fill this gap that this annual series [was] launched. This title, "Law and Deviance," is Volume 5 in the series. [From prefatory matter] This description may be from another edition of this product.
