Readings in Deviant Behavior, Third Edition

by Alex Thio, Thomas C. Calhoun

This collection of readings represents the full range of deviance sociology, dealing with many different theories as well as data collected via different research methodologies. All of the readings have been carefully edited for clarity, conciseness, and forcefulness to ensure that readers will find them easy and enjoyable to read while learning what deviance is all about. The third edition features many new articles that reflect current trends, especially those dealing with noncriminal deviance, such as tattooing, hyperactivity, nude dancing, binge drinking, smoking, and online sex.

This book was a supplement to the Deviant Behavior textbook. Fascinating reading, and who isn't interested in deviance, :-). I would recommend this book even if you aren't taking a related class!
