Deviance and Social control

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

I agree wholeheartedly with the negative reviews. Pop psychology approach, extremely shallow and simple discussions, absolutely no serious theoretical discussion or anything else that might make you think somewhat critically... Seems to be a nice man, but answers any insightful and interesting question with, "Well, thats really very complicated". Period. Isnt the complicated stuff the reason we're here?

Workload:

Light textbook and some generalized 'case studies'. One paper, confusing midterm & final. Nitpicky usually means a teacher wants you to know many, many important details. What THESE tests were looking for is beyond me.
