Perspectives on Deviance and Social Control 2nd Edition is an excellent textbook for anyone trying to open a new perspective on deviance and social control. This text examines how social control theory provides an explanation for deviance and the function that it serves in society.

The book begins by exploring the works of Émile Durkheim, who believed that deviance was necessary for a successful society. Durkheim argued that deviance serves three functions:

• clarifying norms and increasing conformity,
• strengthening social bonds among those reacting to deviance,
• leading to positive social change.

His view toward social control can be understood as something that can be weakened when individuals recognize no other rules of conduct than what meets their own interests.

The author then moves on to examine the various aspects of social control theory. It considers the effects of one’s family and peers on behavior, the role of moral panics in shaping public opinion, and how surveillance and punishment can be used to regulate behavior.  Finally, the book delves into discussing the impacts of culture and socialization on social control.
