Edited by Marshall B. Clinard, the volume brings together leading scholars who critically assess and debate Robert K. Merton's strain theory and Émile Durkheim's original formulation of anomie, scrutinizing their explanatory power and limitations. The contributors argue from multiple theoretical perspectives, challenging assumptions, refining definitions, and testing the concept's applicability across a range of deviant behaviors, from crime and delinquency to mental illness and substance use. Written in a measured, scholarly tone, the collection illustrates how theoretical frameworks must be continuously interrogated and revised to remain analytically useful. This essential text remains a landmark reference for students and researchers in sociology, criminology, and social psychology seeking a comprehensive and critical engagement with anomie theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826040090843,"sku":"2026770000702-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/84a4c14c-c6e9-459c-b0af-2137af7214d3.png?v=1780311443","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000702-secondhand-anomie-and-deviant-behavior-a-discussion-and-critique","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
