Recenzje

"Deviance, one of the most interesting and vibrant areas of research, is presented richly and persuasively alive in this up to-date, captivating book. In it, an esteemed group of first-rate scholars produce a remarkably broad contemporary and brilliant perspective on the various and intriguing manifestations of deviant behaviors. This is certainly a must-read for anyone interested not only in the study of deviance, but on how deviance affects culture and society."
