Investigating Crime and Deviance | Stephen Moore

In Investigating Crime and Deviance, Stephen Moore offers a thought-provoking exploration of crime, deviance, and the societal responses to both. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from sociology, criminology, and legal studies, to provide a deep dive into how crime is defined, studied, and understood within different cultural and legal contexts. Moore addresses key issues such as the social construction of crime, theories of deviance, and the role of institutions in shaping criminal behavior and punishment. Through case studies, empirical data, and theoretical frameworks, the book encourages readers to critically engage with the complexities of crime and its broader social implications. Ideal for students, researchers, and anyone with an interest in the interplay between law, society, and human behavior, this book serves as both an informative and reflective resource on the subject.
