Description

This textbook introduces readers to theories and critiques of traditional approaches to deviance and conformity. Using vivid and timely examples of contemporary social regulation and control, the book brings to life how forces of social control and marginalization interact with social media, sex work, immigration, anti-colonialism, digital surveillance, social movements, and much more. Theories and critiques are clarified with summaries, definitions, rich illustrative examples, discussion questions, recommended resources, and test banks for instructors.
