Deviant Behavior shows you what the experts have to say about the origins, causes, current state and future directions of deviance. Authors Alex Thio, Jim Taylor and Martin Schwartz provide a solid foundation in scientific theories of deviance. They encourage you to apply theories and research to the most relevant forms of deviant behavior today, including emerging forms such as hacktivism and virtual kidnapping.

The 12th Edition takes a fresh look at time-honored topics, while shining a spotlight on cutting-edge innovations and deviance-related topics on the horizon. A new section at the end of each chapter provides access to key industry-specific Internet resources, such as databases, think tanks, consortiums, and government and private agencies.
