Sexual Deviance and Society A Sociological Examination, 2nd Edition by Meredith G

Sexual Deviance and Society A Sociological Examination, 2nd Edition by Meredith G. F. Worthen

Overview: In a society where sexualized media has become background noise, we are frequently discouraged from frank and open discussions about sex and offered few tools for understanding sexual behaviors and sexualities that are perceived as being out of the norm. This book encourages readers to establish new ways of thinking about stigmatized people and behaviors and to think critically about gender, sex, sexuality, and sex crimes.

Sexual Deviance and Society uses sociological theories of crime, deviance, gender, and sexuality to construct a framework for understanding sexual deviance.
