Summary

"With seven new selections and a thoroughly revised introductory essay, this popular reader shows more vividly than ever that deviance by big business and big government are central features of modern society. Selections range from classic essays by major scholars to provocative studies of issues still in the headlines, including the savings and loan crisis and recent college athletics scandals. This text helps students understand how organizations, not just individuals, commit deviant acts."--Jacket.
