I would say that while lesser books go straight to the 'deviance' aspect, this book does much more by addressing the 'sociology', situating the subject historically, culturally, and academically.

Jo Buckle, Glasgow Caledonian University

An excellent introduction to the sociology of deviance; it covers all the main theories and some that are not typically included with rich and varied examples.

Dr Luca Follis, Lancaster University Law School

I regard Understanding Deviance to be a triumph, a major achievement - and its reading essential to a balanced understanding of the field.

Erich Goode, Emeritus Professor, State University of New York at Stony Brook

An indispensable guide to the sociological theories behind crime, it outlines the principal theories of crime and rule-breaking, discussing them chronologically. Placing each theory in its European and North American contexts, the authors confront major criticisms that have been voiced against each theory, and construct defences where appropriate. Thoroughly revised and updated in its 7th edition, this is the clearest and most authoritative guide to crime and deviance, written by three leading names in the field.
