Critical Perspectives on Social Control and Social Regulation in Canada
Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-77363-119-6 (ISBN)
Class, gender, race and sexuality are the bases for understanding deviance, and it is within these relations of power that the labels "deviant" and "normal" are socially developed and the behaviours of those less powerful become regulated.
This textbook introduces readers to theories and critiques of traditional approaches to deviance and conformity. Using vivid and timely examples of contemporary social regulation and control, this textbook brings to life how forces of social control and marginalization interact with social media, sex work, immigration, anti-colonialism, digital surveillance and social movements, and much more. Theories and critiques are clarified with summaries, definitions, rich illustrative examples, discussion questions, recommended resources and test banks for instructors.
Mitch Daschuk research focuses on the construction of youth subcultures, punk rock ideology and the representational politics that inform prevalent understandings of criminality and dangerousness.

She is the co-editor of three editions of Marginality and Condemnation. James Popham is an assistant professor in the Department of Criminology at Wilfrid Laurier University, where he researches issues of cyber criminality, technology and social empowerment.
