Subject:

Description:

This is an upper-level course which will examine various social behaviors that are considered as "deviant". Beginning with definitions of deviance, the course will progress to an examination of the extent of deviant behaviors, theories of the causes of deviant behavior, and the role of social control. There will be a rather broad range of specific behaviors considered, with an overall aim to provide students with a distinctly sociological frame of reference through which a fuller understanding of such behaviors may be gained. Policy implications will also be discussed. Prerequisite: SOCI
