Sexual Deviance And Society : A Sociological Examination
Paperback Edition: 2
In a society where sexualised media has become background noise, we are frequently discouraged from frank and open discussions about sex and offered few tools for understanding sexual behaviours and sexualities that are perceived as being out of the norm. This book encourages readers to establish new ways of thinking about stigmatised people and behaviours and to think critically about gender, sex, sexuality, and sex crimes.
This revised second edition includes new theoretical approaches such as Norm-Centered Stigma Theory; expands into new fields of criminology such as queer criminology; more deeply discusses nonbinary peoples experiences; includes updates to the landscape of LGBTQ rights; reviews "new" forms of sexual deviance including "incels" and "revenge porn"; covers the latest developments in the #MeToo movement; and expands on the discussion of SM, including the "Fifty Shades Phenomenon." In addition, this edition reviews the ever-evolving world of sex work and camming by examining how Pornhub, OnlyFans, and exotic dancers/strip clubs have revolutionized sex work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Utilising an integrative approach that creates a dialogue between the subjects of gender/sexuality, criminology, and deviance, this book is a key resource for students interested in developing a critical understanding of sex, sexuality, and sex crime.
