In a society where sexualized media has become an ubiquitous backdrop, we are often discouraged from engaging in frank and open discussions about sex, and are provided with limited resources to comprehend sexual behaviors and sexual orientations that are deemed unconventional. This book aims to inspire readers to cultivate fresh perspectives on stigmatized individuals and behaviors, and to critically analyze gender, sex, sexuality, and sex crimes.
Sexual Deviance and Society employs sociological theories of crime, deviance, gender, and sexuality to establish a comprehensive framework for understanding sexual deviance. The book is structured into four units:
Unit I, Sociology of Deviance and Sexuality, serves as the foundational module, providing a sociological lens through which to comprehend sex and sexuality.
Unit II, Sexual Deviance, delves into an in-depth exploration of the sociological constructions of sexual deviance, with a critical emphasis on contemporary and historical conceptualizations.
Unit III, Deviant Sexual Acts, provides a detailed examination of various deviant sexual behaviors, encompassing sex in public, fetishes, and sex work.
Unit IV, Sex Crimes and Criminals, focuses on rape and sexual assault, sex crimes against children, and societal responses to sex offenders and their treatment within the criminal justice system.
This revised second edition introduces new theoretical frameworks, such as Norm-Centered Stigma Theory, expands into emerging areas of criminology, such as queer criminology, delves deeper into the experiences of nonbinary individuals, incorporates updates on the evolving landscape of LGBTQ rights, reviews emerging forms of sexual deviance, including incels and revenge porn, addresses the latest developments within the #MeToo movement, and extends the discussion of SM, including the Fifty Shades Phenomenon.
