Lecture: 3

Sociology of Deviance examines how deviance is constructed in our society by exploring mechanisms and processes that make certain behaviors deviant. This course examines the consequences of the deviant label in terms of deviant identity and stigma management, how deviant persons organize their lives and the development of deviant careers. In addition, we will evaluate the various theories of deviant behavior. Upon completion of this course, students will gain a sociological perspective on deviance.
