Most primary deviation is of transitory significance and involves a fairly insignificant punishment. Extreme Deviance focuses on behavior, beliefs, and traits that are so serious as to generate, in the words of Edwin Lemert, secondary deviation. Editors Erich Goode and D. Angus Vail tunnel to the core of the subject by emphasizing a set of central lessons, offering edgy, pedagogically dramatic illustrations of principles that are contained in no other collection of readings. The book is complete with vocabularies of motive, deviance neutralization, the acquisition of a deviant identity, and the formation of a deviance subculture. Key Features   Exemplifies the concept of deviance to the fullest extent, from primary to secondary deviation: By focusing on extreme deviance, this book explores the full range of the consequence of normative violations. Presents vivid examples: Examples are dramatic, difficult to forget, and manifest from the normative violation through condemnation to the creation of deviance stereotyping, social isolation, and stigmatization. Offers an engaging text-reader format: Each chapter begins with a detailed introduction written by the editors followed by two selections written by sociological experts in the field and one personal account. Intended Audience   This book is designed for undergraduate courses such as Sociology of Deviant Behavior, Deviant Behavior, and Social Deviance in the department of sociology.

Brazil is a country of sharp disparities. The gap between the richest and the poorest citizens is one of the largest in the world. Inequality in Brazil is well-known, but its low mobility is not. Until now, few studies have sought to investigate how forms of social exclusion constrain socioeconomic mobility. Why do particular groups remain excluded and trapped in poverty for generations? What do Brazilians themselves think about income inequality and social mobility? This study explores these issues, provides a set of options to redress them, and promotes a national dialogue for action.In addi

Depuis les années 1990, la question des personnes sans domicile est revenue au premier plan des préoccupations sociales, scientifiques et politiques. Pourtant, bien des préjugés et des incompréhensions subsistent. Cet ouvrage tente de répondre aux interrogations suivantes : comment définir les sans-domicile ? Dans un contexte où les difficultés de logement et d'emploi se sont accrues, quelles sont les personnes les plus touchées par cette forme de privation de logement ? Se distinguent-elles des autres personnes à faibles revenus ou mal logées ? De quelles ressources disposent-elles et comment organisent-elles leur vie au quotidien ? Entre assistance et répression, comment se sont construites les politiques spécifiques en direction des sans-domicile ? En quoi consiste le rôle des associations ? De quels atouts disposent les personnes qui sont parvenues à retrouver un logement ? Enfin, la situation française est-elle particulière ? En quoi diffère-t-elle de celle des pays européens ou d'autres pays développés ?.
