Reclaiming Deviance as a Unique Course from Criminology.

Bader, Chris; And Others

Teaching Sociology, v24 n3 p316-20 Jul 1996

Asserts that the emphasis on criminal deviance in deviance textbooks creates too much overlap between what should be separate courses in deviance and criminology. Suggests that sociology courses focus on theories of deviance while criminology courses emphasize prevention. Discusses topics currently covered in both courses. (MJP)
