Mark of Cain: The Stigma Theory of Crime and Social Deviance

by S. Giora Shoham

This edition draws broadly from mythology, anthropology, sociology and literature, and concludes that, in spite of criticism against the labeling frame of reference, Professor Shoham's pioneering work of 1970 stands largely vindicated. (Law & Criminal Studies Crime, Criminals, Stigmatisation, Deviance, Social Control, Labeling Studies;)
