Deviance Management

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 * "The book presents a persuasive and powerful integration of a large conceptual reservoir. . . . 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."
