The Routledge Handbook on Deviance brings together original contributions on deviance, with a focus on new, emerging, and hidden forms of deviant behavior. The editors have curated a comprehensive collection highlighting the relativity of deviance, with chapters exploring the deviant behaviors related to sport, recreation, body modification, chronic health conditions, substance use, religion and cults, political extremism, sexuality, online interaction, mental and emotional disorders, elite societal status, workplace issues, and lifestyle. The selections review competing definitions and orientations and a wide range of theoretical premises while addressing methodological issues involved in the study of deviance. Each section begins with an introduction by the editors, anchoring the topics in relevant theoretical and methodological contexts and identifying common themes as well as divergence. Providing state-of-the-art scholarship on deviance in modern society, this handbook is an invaluable resource for researchers and students engaged in the study of deviance across a range of disciplines including criminology, criminal justice, sociology, anthropology, and interdisciplinary departments, including justice studies, social transformation, and socio-legal studies.

Social Justice, Criminal Justice is the first book of its kind to fully integrate criminal justice practice (i.e. policing, courts, and corrections) with foundational theories of justice (i.e. including utilitarianism, libertarianism, egalitarianism, and virtue-based frameworks).Grounded in legal thought and constitutional principles, the authors critically examine how discrimination became embedded in U.S. law, contributing to the perpetuation and maintenance of a system that excluded racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, women, and members of the LGBTQ community. At the same time, the book demonstrates how those very legal structures have been challenged, reinterpreted, and mobilized to dismantle injustice. The pursuit of a more just society continues today, in courtrooms, legislatures, and communities across the nation. Unlike any other book on the market, this book provides the reader with a solid understanding of how discrimination by race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and other extra-legal factors was created, but also how that discrimination continues to be overcome. What truly distinguishes this book is its direct and sustained connection between everyday criminal justice practice and the major theories of justice that shape American law and governance. Readers learn how each theory is rooted in constitutional values and how liberty, equality, happiness, and morality remain central to the American legal tradition.Designed for undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice, criminology, political science, law, public administration, and related fields, this groundbreaking work also serves as an essential resource for scholars examining criminal justice, criminal law, and the ongoing struggle for justice in the United States.
