Understanding deviance : connecting classical and contemporary pieces / by Tammy L. Anderson. - 672 pages ; 24 cm. - Contemporary sociological perspectives . - Contemporary sociological perspectives. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

In this collection of 48 reprinted and completely original articles, Tammy Anderson gives her fellow instructors of undergraduate deviance a refreshing way to energize and revitalize their courses. First, in 12 separate sections, she presents a wide range of deviant behaviours, traits, and conditions. Second, her pairing of 'classic' and 'contemporary' viewpoints about deviance and social control not only 'connects' important literatures of the past to today's (student) readers, her 'connections framework' also helps all of us see social life and social processes more clearly when alternative meanings are accorded to similar forms of deviant behaviour.
