520 _aBeginning with a concise discussion of what sociologists mean by crime and deviance, this clear, lively and well-structured book looks at the wide range of debates that sociological approaches to crime and deviance have spawned. In particular, the authors examine questions surrounding the social patterning of crime - whether relating to the reliability and validity of official crime figures, the geographical or gendered distribution of crime, the relationship between social class and crime, and age and crime, or the disproportionate number of black people in the criminal justice system. White-collar crime and the victims of crime are discussed, as are the role and functioning of the criminal justice system. - Back cover.
