Tammy L Anderson

Understanding Deviance

Connecting Classical and Contemporary Perspectives

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this collection of 48 reprinted and original articles, Tammy Anderson gives her fellow instructors of undergraduate deviance a refreshing way to revitalize their courses. In 12 separate sections, she presents a wide range of deviant behaviors, traits, and conditions, pairing "classic" and "contemporary" viewpoints. This pairing not only "connects" important literatures of the past to today's readers, her "connections framework" also helps all of us see social life and social processes more clearly. This anthology sharpens students' critical thinking skills by forcing them to look at how a deviant behavior, trait or condition, can be viewed from opposing or alternative perspectives.
