SY 2600 - Social Deviance

Credits: 4

Examines the patterns of deviant behavior in American society. Concentrates on the social construction of deviance: how various deviant labels are defined and applied (e.g. crime and mental illness) and the social consequences for those labeled. Students will also study the uses of moral, legal and medical models as fundamental ways of understanding both deviant behavior and the societal response to deviants.
