Available To Downloads

Packed with the most recent and relevant articles in the field, CONSTRUCTIONS OF DEVIANCE: SOCIAL POWER, CONTEXT, AND INTERACTION, Eighth Edition, shows readers how to apply the concepts and theories of deviance to the world around them. The book's current, comprehensive coverage includes both theoretical analyses and ethnographic illustrations of how deviance is socially constructed, organized, and managed. Seasoned authors and award-winning professors, Patricia Adler and Peter Adler cover a wide variety of deviant acts-challenging readers to see the diversity and pervasiveness of deviance in society. They present deviance as a component of society, examine the construction of deviance, and explore the processes in society that create deviance. Intriguing selected studies focus on the experiences of deviants, the deviant-making process, and the ways in which people labeled as deviant in society react to that label. The balanced selection of readings is timely and engaging, while in-depth introductions, explanations of theory, and discussion questions guide readers through the fascinating material.

Fine as far as textbooks go. The articles are varied and interesting. Also short enough to read easily. The print is small, and it's a little heavy. But not too bad.I will say that I heavily prefer using e-book textbooks. The savings are great, especially since I never sell the old textbooks. I always mean to, but who am I kidding? Also much easier not to juggle a textbook when you are using a laptop. You have to find a way to prop open and have good lighting to read. With the Kindle for PC, it is easy to copy and paste for notes, annotate or highlight. And it includes footnotes for copy/paste. Bonus to work anywhere in the house without dragging a lamp around. So now I know. Should have done that with this but fine.

Had to have this book for my class. The authors perspective and research is an interesting read.

The book is what I needed for a class so yay. Renting was easy and cheaper then. Using it

Arrived quickly and was as described.
