This text develops a model of deviance that synthesizes existing knowledge, offers a model with empirical content for testing, and aims to engage students in the process with attention to the concepts and general knowledge scattered through the literature.
The sociology of deviance was in its heyday when Prentice-Hall published this book in 1969. John Lofland traces the field from pre-World War II to the late sixties and pioneers the application of "grounded theory" to the study of deviant behavior. In his new prologue, Joel Best writes, "More than thirty years after the book first appeared, we have no better synthesis of the labeling approach."
This title takes a look at normative violations that earn the violators a deviant identity in the eyes of the members of mainstream society.
