Deviance and Social Control by Ravi Ranjan Kumar

Deviance and Social Control by Ravi Ranjan Kumar

Deviance and social control are central themes in sociology, exploring how societies define and respond to behaviors that challenge norms. Studying these mechanisms reveals the interplay between conformity, power, and resistance. Deviance and Social Control analyzes the theories and institutions that regulate behavior in different social contexts. The book discusses labeling theory, moral panics, and systems of surveillance and punishment. It also explores how class, race, and gender shape definitions of deviance. Combining classical and contemporary perspectives, it provides readers with a critical understanding of how social order is maintained and contested.
