3.0 out of 5 stars This book is a bit stale. , October 18, 2008
By tryinthis2 (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This book is difficult to read. Not because the concepts are difficult but it is written in a manner that makes it hard to stay focused. The first few chapters seem easy but by chapter 4 it was like pulling teeth to absorb the information.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT TEXTBOOK COVERING DEVIANCE, January 5, 2008
Outstanding and very thorough look at deviant behavior from the sociological perspective. Difficult to cover entire book in one semester, as it is very long. All text; no pictures, so book is not necessarily appealing to the eye.

Theoretical perspectives covered in detail. This book may work better as a graduate text. I would love to see a better study guide to accompany the book.
