The understanding of deviant behavior is rapidly evolving in the 2 st century. For this reason, a global perspective on emerging forms of deviant behavior is essential.

Readers will learn what deviant behavior is across the world-the circumstances, patterns, and socio-cultural characteristics of persons involved in deviant acts. They will also examine "why" and "how" deviant acts occur-the precipitants of deviant behavior and the social processes that result in defining certain acts as deviant. Pedagogical Features:* Learning objectives, chapter summaries, critical thinking questions, web links, and a glossary of key concepts are provided in every chapter.* Each chapter begins with a portrait of deviance that focuses the student's attention on the substantive issues addressed. * "At-A-Glance" sections summarize key facts about the form of deviance being considered.* Boxes highlighting key empirical findings, case narratives that illustrate particular aspects of deviant behavior, or summaries of important theoretical perspectives.Instructor Resources:* Instructor Manual with chapter outlines, key concepts, and discussion points, all organized by chapter.* Test Bank* PowerPoint Lecture OutlinesStudent Resources include an open-access companion website featuing relevant weblinks
