Book Description
Goode (U. of Maryland) offers this text as a counter to the "...all- too-frequently misinformed commentary promulgated in the social sciences, the media, and the public at large about the phenomenon of deviance." Personal accounts by several individuals give insight into how deviance is created, how judgments of norm violations are decided and by whom, how those sanctions are experienced by violators and how these experiences influence their view of the world, how social relations work, how those who know they are violating a norm form their relations with people who accept that norm, and ideas about deviance and conventionality. c.

Social Deviance
Author: Stuart Henry
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509523545
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
The new edition of this popular introduction explores the meaning of social deviance in contemporary society. It traces the path by which we create deviance: how we single out behavior, ideas, and appearances that differ from the “norm,” label them as either offensive or acceptable, and then condemn or celebrate them. The book explains what kinds of behavior are banned and who bans them, exposing the important political influences underlying these processes. Refreshed with a new engaging, accessible style, the second edition features expanded treatment of the theories of deviance, new material on positive deviance, and updated references and contemporary examples throughout. At its core, Social Deviance looks at who becomes deviant and why. It delves into the multiple motives that cause rule-breakers to behave badly in the eyes of those they offend or creatively in the eyes of those they please, and it reveals the way deviants think about their actions, their moral identity, and their fellow moral outcasts.

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life
Author: Erving Goffman
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0593468295
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A notable contribution to our understanding of ourselves. This book explores the realm of human behavior in social situations and the way that we appear to others. Dr. Goffman uses the metaphor of theatrical performance as a framework. Each person in everyday social intercourse presents himself and his activity to others, attempts to guide and cotnrol the impressions they form of him, and employs certain techniques in order to sustain his performance, just as an actor presents a character to an audience. The discussions of these social techniques offered here are based upon detailed research and observation of social customs in many regions.

Good Trouble
Author: Brian Wolf
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498563457
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
This book is written in praise of the criminal; a unique kind of criminal, who is motivated not by personal gain, but ethical altruism. Deviant heroes are those individuals who violate unjust norms and laws, facing the repercussions of social control, effecting positive social change in the process. Using a method that examines how the biographies of individual deviants intersected with history, it probes how criminals and deviants have been on the leading edge of important, positive social changes and the creation of a more just, fair, and humane society. Brian Wolf concludes with an examination of the problem of conformity and how deviant heroism in everyday life may be a remedy for injustice in micro-level social contexts.
