A central theme of this course is that deviance plays an integral role in the definition of what is “normal” in human group life. Deviant behavior as an agent of social change as well as a source of social stability will be addressed. Various sociological perspectives will be employed in discussing such topics as delinquency; organized, white collar and government crime; sexual deviance; and mental illness.
