Book Review of Thinking About Deviance: A Realistic Perspective by Paul Higgins and Mitch MackinemKeywords: deviance , book review , criminology Abstract: The manuscript appears written for exposing an audience of sheltered undergraduate students to the realities of social life. Readers should come away with a widened view of what deviance is and can be. Higgins and Mackinem make a convincing argument that definitions of deviance are constructed, and these definitions are useful in coercing people to act within a narrow bandwidth.
