Summary: Part one shows how deviance is dealt with in primary groups and informal relations and how a person is singled out and assigned a deviant status by intimates such as family members. part two deals with these processes in the formal regulation of deviance. For example, it considers how agents of social control, such as the police, define persons as deviants, how they act on these definitions, and what some of the consequences of formal sanctions are. The second half of the book (Parts Three and Four) discusses deviants themselves : how they respond to being typed by others, how they type themselves, and how form deviant groups. Part Three examines the social organization of deviance, and how people get into a deviant group and learn its norms. Finally, this section examines the social deversity that can exist in what many people assume is a homogenenous group. Part Four shows how persons may take on deviant identities through self-typing, how they manage deviant identitie, and how they may eventually regain "respectability". This book then focuses not on people's motivations for doing things taht are regarded as deviant but rather on the sociology of deviance--the processes that divide society into different types of people and the social effects of these processes. - Preface.
