SOCI 028D. Deviance
This is a class about how societies define some things as normal, and what happens when individuals or groups do not fit those definitions. It presents some basic theories of institutional constraint and the ‘labeling’ of people as deviant, emphasizing how these always involve issues of power and unequal opportunity. It focuses most centrally on the sociology of street crime, but also explores examples concerning drug and music subcultures, sex/sexuality/gender, religion, and extremist politics.
