Synopsis "Crime and Deviance: Understanding Problems, Constructing Solutions"
Crime and Deviance: Understanding Problems, Constructing Solutions presents readers with a compelling, integrated analysis of deviance and crime, as well as an exploration of concrete social actions they can take to alleviate associated problems.Designed to address existing gaps in academic literature, the book provides readers with a clear theoretical framework necessary for a comprehensive understanding of deviance, as well as interventions and solutions for crime- and deviance-related issues at the micro, meso, and macro levels. The text demonstrates how macro institutional practices, cultural ideas, and organizational practices both constrain and make possible the ability of individual humans to create our social realities. With this framework in place, each chapter invites readers to analyze deviance-related topics through micro interactions, meso organizations and subcultures, and macro culture and structure.Ideal for deviance courses taught in sociology and criminology departments, Crime and Deviance's integrative theoretical framework and applied orientation present the enormous complexity of deviance in ways students can easily understand and use beyond the confines of the classroom to examine and act to address social problems they encounter in the real world.
