Chapter 1 describes the foundations of the deviancy control system in the late 1700's and early 1800's, compares the historical models used to explain these developments, and examines several destructuring movements that appeared in the 1960's (decentralization, decriminalization, informalism, self-help, demedicalization, destigmatization, behaviorism, and neoclassicism). This text analyses the ways in which behaviour comes to be defined as criminal and/or deviant and explores the ways in which conformity and social control can be achieved.

This is not just a book for the specialist in criminology, social problems and the sociology of deviance but raises a whole range of issues of much wider interest to the social sciences.
