Description
Deviance Management examines how individuals and subcultures manage the stigma of being labeled socially deviant. Exploring high-tension religious groups, white power movements, paranormal subcultures, LGBTQ groups, drifters, recreational drug and alcohol users, and more, the authors identify how and when people combat, defy, hide from, or run from being stigmatized as "deviant." While most texts emphasize the criminological features of deviance, the authors' coverage here showcases the diversity of social and noncriminal deviance. Deviance Management allows for a more thorough understanding of strategies typically used by normalization movements to destigmatize behaviors and identities while contributing to the study of social movements and intra-movement conflict.
Reviews / Votes
"[T]he book serves as valuable demonstration of how to build a theoretical framework from general observation, and then test it using a variety of empirical evidence. . . . [and] it provides a valuable direction for scholars looking to examine how people negotiate the intersections of deviant and conforming identities." * Anthropology Book Forum * "Deviance Management provides a valuable and positive learning experience and opens new vistas to innovative understandings of, and thinking about, deviance, conformity, and social control. In the main, it is an eye-opener that helps us understand some of the sociological patterns that characterize the activities of social movements in their attempts to move stigmatized groups into becoming normalized and mainstreamed." * American Journal of Sociology *More details
