This is the new edition of the popular textbook, Understanding Deviance, which guides the new student through the major sociological theories of crime, deviance and control. It offers an in-depth discussion of all the prominent theories of deviance, examining significant frameworks of the sub-discipline; from the early work of the University of Chicago in the 1920s, through issues such as functionalism and symbolic interactionism, and brings the reader fully up to date with a thorough treatment of Left Realism and 'third way' policies under New Labour.
