  • Maternal or Material? Breast Pumps, Sexualization, and Technicways on YouTube

    Open Access•Tina H Deshotels, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2026

    Breast pumps are designed to support infant feeding, yet YouTube videos demonstrating their use often blur the boundary between instruction and sexualized performance. This study examines instructional breast pump demonstration videos to understand how maternal technologies are represented in digital spaces. Using qualitative observational analysis, we identify recurring patterns of sexualized presentation, instructional disclaimers, embodied per…

    Tyler Mccoy Gay, Tyler Gay et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 35

    The music entertainment industry is very influential in creating/extending conversation around social issues and controversies. This paper examines the influence that musicians have over the understanding of gender norms and queerness. Specifically, this paper will highlight the musician by the name of Prince. His reign of funk and sensuality challenged the view of gender and sexuality; the coupling of masculinity and queerness. Three areas of Pr…

Findings indicate the highest association is between marijuana and alcohol use. Most drugs show at least a low to medium association with all other d…

  • A Theoretical Model for Preparing Incarcerated Youth for Careers in an Increasingly Technological World

    Karen Burstein, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Criminal Justice…•2016

    Most youth in juvenile delinquent systems end up incarcerated due in part to poor decision-making skills. This study describes a theoretical framework undergirding the relationships across delinquency, learning climate, decision-making, and computational logic. This framework will inform a team of educators, criminologists, and psychologists, and their peers in computer science and mathematics, instructional software design, and content experts a…

  • Protective Factors for Deviance

    Raymond W Biggar, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2016•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 45

    Based on data from the 2010, 2012, and 2014 Communities that Care Youth Survey, the authors examine the protective factors associated with rural and urban students in grades 6 through 12 across several domains. This research is based on the literature that associates rural areas with a more protective environment and resulting lower rates of deviance. Findings were mixed, but overall rural youth had higher protective factor scores. A summary of a…

    Timothy C Brown, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•The Social Science Journal•2013•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 24

    This paper examines the effects of economic structural change on community social capital. The content of 156 interviews in Southern communities entrenched in the offshore oil economy, were used to investigate the consequences of industrial and civic restructuring on the social structure and social ties among local residents. The central finding is that population turnover and in-migration of workers demanded by a rapidly expanding economy enhanc…

  • Peaceful Warriors

    Open Access•H Copes, Andy Hochstetler et al.•ARTICLE•Criminology•2013•Citada por: 40•Referencias: 44

    Considerable theoretical and empirical inquiry has focused on the role codes for violence play in generating crime. A large part of this work has examined the attitudes and codes condoning retaliation and violence as well as the prevalence of these among minorities residing in impoverished neighborhoods. Much about the nature of codes remains unknown, however, and this may in part reflect a narrow interest in beliefs about provocation and uses of…

    Timothy C Brown, William B Bankston et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•2013•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 15

    This article examines the industrial structure of the offshore oil industry utilizing the framework of the civic community thesis. This theory posits that communities with an economic structure that includes a dominance of small locally owned businesses will have higher levels of civic welfare and will subsequently experience positive community effects. This article first focuses on rural southern communities, whose economic structure is heavily …

  • Red Light Districts on Blue Screens

    James F Quinn, Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2013•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 17

    Sexual deviance was traditionally divided into normal, pathological, and sociological behaviors by Gagnon and Simon (Citation1967). Quinn and Forsyth (Citation2005) modified that typology by adding cross-cutting continuums describing the normative status and social organization of behaviors in order to keep pace with changing sexual mores and technology while bolstering its empirical rigor. This article extends that model based on the original ty…

  • Bad Behavior, Ethnicity, and Level of School Diversity

    Lai Kwan Pei, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2013•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 25

    This article examines the relationship between discipline problems, ethnicity, and the diversity level of schools. Four levels of diversity in schools were created. Results are inconclusive as to whether school desegregation helps to reduce behavioral problems; although the somewhat segregated school and the segregated school have lower percentages of students with behavioral problems when compared to the diverse school and the somewhat segregate…

  • Bareback Sex, Bug Chasers, and the Gift of Death

    Deann K Gauthier, Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•1999•Citada por: 56

    This research examines barebacking, or unprotected sex. Specifically, we analyze one form of barebacking, known as bug chasing, in which HIV-negative gay men seek to become infected with the deadly virus that causes AIDS. As a form of sexual deviance, this practice relies on socialstructures generated through recent technological advances in the computer industry that simplify access to like-minded individuals. The research reports the reasons of…

  • Strategic Flirting and the Emotional Tab of Exotic Dancing

    Tina H Deshotels, Tina Deshotels et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2006•Citada por: 51•Referencias: 24

    The paper uses the concept strategic flirting, an aspect of emotional labor, to challenge the dichotomous view that sex work is either exploitative or empowering for exotic dancers. The findings suggest a more nuanced understanding of the advantages of sexual power and expenditures of emotional labor. Data were gleaned from interviews with 112 female dancers in several cities. Data from dancers indicate significant support for both the sexual rad…

  • Describing Sexual Behavior in the Era of the Internet

    James F Quinn, Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2005•Citada por: 45•Referencias: 29

    Gagnon and Simon's (1967 Gagnon , J. H. and W. Simon 1967 . Sexual Deviance . New York : Harper and Row . [Google Scholar]) groundbreaking work on sexual deviance divided behaviors into normal, pathological, and sociological categories. We reconstruct this typology as a pair of two cross cutting continuums describing the normative status and social organization of behaviors in order to keep pace with changing sexual mores and technology while bol…

    Craig J Forsyth, Thomas A Marckese•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•1993•Citada por: 38•Referencias: 21

    The focus of this research is to both describe and explain the activities of poachers. This research is based on interviews with 36 poachers. The authors explored the reasons given by some of these men for engaging in this deviant activity. Extensive quotations from interviews with poachers are presented. Primary motivation for this subgroup seems to be the pleasure derived from both the excitement of poaching and the outsmarting of game wardens …

  • The game of poaching

    Craig J Forsyth, Robert Gramling et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•1998•Citada por: 29•Referencias: 11

    This article examines the meaning and purpose of poaching from the perspectives of poachers and game wardens. Our technique was to let the responses speak for themselves, presenting the convergence of poacher and game warden in the real world, and then to offer both summarization and interpretation. This research uses data from interviews with 41 poachers and 32 game wardens. Its focus is to both describe and explain the activities of poachers. W…

  • The Influence of Fear of Crime, Gender, and Southern Culture on Carrying Firearms for Protection

    Open Access•William B Bankston, Carol Y Thompson et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Quarterly•1990•Citada por: 24•Referencias: 28

    This research examines the influence of fear of crime, gender, and a southern cultural tradition on the frequency of carrying firearms for protection against criminal victimization. Analysis of carrying guns for protection, as opposed to having them in the home or owning them for this purpose, is argued to remove some methodological problems plaguing much previous research. Fear of crime is not found to be a significant predictor of carrying; how…

  • Pathological Internet Communities

    Keith F Durkin, Keith Durkin et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•2006•Citada por: 23•Referencias: 26

    This article explores the impact of the Internet and related technologies on the nature of deviant behavior, deviant communities, and the future of deviance research. The idea that pathological communities, once largely suppressed by time, space, and societal restraints, can now create and use virtual communities is focal. Those new communities may expand their numbers and/or pathology, while reinforcing their rationales for rule violations. Inve…

  • Dogmen

    Rhonda D Evans, Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Society and Animals•1998•Citada por: 22•Referencias: 7

    Dogmen are individuals who fight their pit bulls in matches against other pit bulls. This paper uses neutralization theory to examine the rationalizations of dogmen as they attempt to counter stigma and criminal identity in a world that is becoming increasingly intolerant of dogfighting. To maintain their rationalizations, the dogmen use four recurring techniques : (a) denial of injury;(b) condemnation of the condemners; (c) appeal to higher loya…

    The article describes the spectrum of motorcycling groups before focusing on the symbolism and values of modern outlaws or one percenters. Factors unique to the edgework of motorcycling are linked to the appearance and demeanor of bikers and their most extreme expression of American society's shadow side among one percenters. The persona of the largest one percent clubs are outlined using the aphorisms and symbols of the subculture. The values re…

  • Bookers and peacemakers

    Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•1994•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 12

    This paper is a descriptive analysis of the job of game warden. Using data from interviews with 31 game wardens, the author describes the interactions of game wardens with other wardens and poachers.

Extensive quotes from interviews with game wardens are presented

  • Postmodern Masculinities and the Eunuch

    Tina H Deshotels, Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2007•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 20

    This research examines the recent rise of the eunuch within several sociological contexts. The contention of this article is that present images of masculine sexuality have inadvertently made the effigy of the eunuch more permissible, albeit, unstated. In addition, as a form of sexual deviance, this practice relies on both individual pathologies and communities for membership. Recent technological advances in the computer industry have simplified…

  • Economic Fluctuation and Crime

    Asha D Luthra, William B Bankston et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2007•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 22

    This research examines the relationship between patterns of crime and the development of the oil and gas extraction industry in the coastal regions of Louisiana using pooled time-series analysis. The suggestion of a link between these phenomena has often been made, but little systematic research has been conducted to determine if there is indeed a crime–oil development nexus. Limited previous research has focused primarily on the issue of "boom a…

    This study examines the life histories of male and female crack addicts outside of the inner city context, focusing on gendered variation in experiences related to childhood background, pathways into crack cocaine use, income generation strategies, and violence. We offer insight into the nature of crack use and culture outside of the inner city and question the generalizability of previous studies to communities outside of the inner city. Further…

  • The structuring of Vicarious Sex

    Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•1996•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 19

    This paper proposes a change in the typing of a form of sexual deviance: voyeurism (watching persons who are undressing, undressed, or in the act of sexual intercourse). The analysis focuses on a suggested change in what is thought to prompt voyeurism. Voyeurism is presently regarded as pathological deviance by some researchers. This paper suggests that some voyeurism can be better understood if considered within the context of sociological devia…

    This paper explores the occupational sources of social marginality in merchant seamen. The total institutional characteristics of the work setting of this group are influential in producing this effect, and a number of organizational and extra-organizational variables are examined as determinants. Several were found to have significant impact on the degree of social marginality experienced by seamen and collectively the independent variables pred…

  • Expanding a typology of the dimensions of marked relationships

    Craig J Forsyth, Craig Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•1986•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 5

    This paper expands a typology of underlying elements that influence the role of the stigmatized individual in interpersonal relations. The six dimensions of Jones et al. (1984)—concealability, course, disruptiveness, aesthetic qualities, origin, and peril—are expanded and altered to include the stigmatized individual as a more active actor in the labeling process. Two additional dimensions are added: exploitability and historical precedent, and o…

    This article offers an expansion of the construction of reality paradigm as proposed by Berger and Kellner (1964) as an appropriate theoretical perspective for the examination of the link between work scheduling and family interaction. The argument is that not only does this perspective allow an examination across a continuum of family member absences, but that this perspective is applicable across the family life cycle, and with increasingly evi…

  • A typology of office harlots

    Craig J Forsyth, Lee Fournet•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•1987•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 5

    This paper is a descriptive study of a sample of women (N=24) who have used sex as a way of moving up within an organization. All were in positions in which they did very little work, received high wages, and attributed these circumstances to either a sexual affair(s) with a boss or bosses and/or clients of the company. A typology of office sex is developed from this study: mistress, party girl, and career climber. The data gathered were all obta…

  • Economic infrastructure and the development of state autonomy

    Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•1988•Referencias: 6

    This paper interprets the development of the U.S. maritime industry as reflecting changes in the economic substructure of American capitalism. The analysis seeks to explain how the changing interests of the state, as well as the changing balance of power between capitalists, workers and the state stimulated changes in the maritime industry. Three time periods are used: the Revolution until 1867; 1868 to 1897; and 1898‐on. These three periods repr…

    Penny L Devillier, Craig J Forsyth•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•1988•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 2

    This paper discusses the downward mobility of divorced women with dependent children. Results from a survey of 131 divorced women with dependent children are analyzed. Factors examined are education and consistency of child support. Both education and degree of consistency of child support are shown to affect downward mobility

  • Crime and economic activity

    Robert Gramling, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•1988•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 16

    This paper examines the relationship between unemployment, median income, and the seven F.B.I. Index crimes. The analysis lends support to the contention that opportunity is a stronger motivator of criminal activity than is deprivation. The paper also calls into question the propriety of official unemployment rates as indicators of economic deprivation, at least at the state level. Thus, economic deprivation cannot be ruled out as a causal elemen…

  • Rare, ole, dirty snacks

    Craig J Forsyth, Genevieve M Benoit•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•1989•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 4

    This paper investigates the topic of dirt‐eating. Using a review of the literature and intensive interviews conducted with twelve dirt eaters the study investigates dirt eaters from four focal points: 1) how each individual “got started” eating dirt; 2) where they get the dirt from; 3) when do they eat dirt and 4) why do they eat dirt. A discussion is offered on the future of the phenomenon and the implications of our findings

    The traditional macroscopic model of cultural causation advanced by Weber and modified by Parsons assumes that values provide onentation for human action. Thus, values are conceptualized as the intervening link between culture and behavior and in general, are viewed as predictive of human action. As an a/tentative model, Swidler asserts that cultures provide actors with a limited array of behavioral options. Because this array is finite and indic…

The authors explored the reasons given by some of these men for engaging in this deviant activity. Extensive quotations from interviews with poachers are presented. Primary motivation for this subgroup seems to be the pleasure derived from both the excitement of poaching and the outsmarting of game wardens …

  • Defining the family after the death of a child

    Sarah Brabant, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Death Studies•1994•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 2

    We conducted 14 interviews representing 9 families and 10 child deaths to examine a dilemma common to bereaved parents-the definition of the family after the death of a child. Although the deceased child continued to be defined as a member of the family to the parents, the degree to which this definition of the family was presented to outsiders varied. The work of Boss (psychological presence/physical absence and boundary ambiguity) and Goffman f…

  • Shrimpers, conservationists, and coastal development

    Anthony V Margavio, Craig J Forsyth et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Spectrum•1994•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 7

    In 1989, the shrimpers of the Gulf and South Atlantic staged the largest protest of fishery regulations in the history of the United States. Arguing that the mandated turtle excluder devices (TEDs) were still another ploy to remove commercial harvesters from the coasts of America, many shrimpers refused to “pull” TEDs. In order to examine the marine resource conflicts among competing users, we interviewed parties to, not only the TEDs conflict, b…
