Inhaltsangabe

The Relativity of Deviance is a primer on the constructivist perspective on deviance--the idea that deviance cannot be explained in terms of absolutes, nor can it be understood apart from its social setting. It explores some of the most frequent contexts for deviant behavior in ways that challenge definitive or objective judgments.
