Summary: This book looks toward a general theory of deviant behavior Le, a system of proportions that are applicable to all the manifold varicotic of destance. Such a theory should account not only for the occurrence of deviance but also for the particular forms that it takes. Whether such a theory is possible or how closely it can be approached only time and hard work can tell We have many theories about particular kinds of deviance-eg, crime, juvenile delinquency, alcoholism, prostitution, and so forth, but only a very modest literature that deals systematically with issues that cut across the whole field.
