In this course students will be introduced to the ideological and theoretical foundation of Social Deviance and Social Control. Attention is given to micro/macro forms of deviance including the gamut from individual forms of deviance to state organized deviance. The course will examine the complex nature and the role agents of social control play in creating and enforcing norms and deviant labels. The course will examine a range of empirical data that attempt to explain the existence and occurrence of deviance.
