Deviance and Crime is written by Walter DeKeseredy and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317522842 (ISBN 10) and 9781317522843 (ISBN 13).

This book sensitizes the reader to the fact that there is substantial disagreement within the academic community, and among policymakers and the general public, over what behaviors, conditions (e.g., physical attributes), and people should be designated as deviant or criminal. Normative conceptions, the societal reaction/labeling approach, and the critical approach are offered as frameworks within which to study these definitions. A comprehensive explanation of theory and social policy on deviance is constructed.
