Moral Regulation and Governance in Canada
History, Context, and Critical Issues
Edited by Amanda Glasbeek
May 2006
Print ISBN: 9781551303024
Overview
Moral Regulation and Governance in Canada offers an outstanding selection of readings that represents an overview of the key issues in deviance, moral regulation, and governance in Canada from a distinctly Canadian perspective. It effectively tracks the sociology of deviance, from governmentality studies to theories of social control. Of particular note is the focus this book gives to gender issues. It also argues that sometimes what is considered deviant is less related to criminality and more concerned with the perception of normalcy.
