Synopsis

As the United States is consumed with the scandal involving President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, many citizens have wondered why a man at the apex of his career would endanger himself and his family for the sake of a few cheap thrills. Here, Simon (sociology, U. of Calif., Berkeley and San Jose State U.), in an update of his textbook, classifies such behavior as a form of elite deviance, which also includes corporate immorality (such as excessive corporate compensation) and political corruption. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The only text in this area that takes a holistic view, Elite Deviance traces the causes of elite deviance to the structure of power and wealth in the United States.

Elite Deviance includes both criminal and non-criminal elite acts that cause great harm. Unique in its scope, Elite Deviance covers not only corporate crime and political corruption in historical and contemporary contexts, but also the relationship between the two. Students will enjoy the many interesting and current examples and case studies that reinforce all major theoretical points in the book. Professors will appreciate the holistic, structural approach.
