Criminal justice and the cretan liar: Unmasking strategies of dissimulation and deception
Ideology and deviance: The case of the debate over the biological factor
There is great concern over the present debate with regard to the presence of any inborn or biological predilection toward crime and deviance. The concerns are real: they involve, among others, the question of responsibility of the offender, the use of the data for racist or sexist purposes, their use for the dismantling of social programs. The authors contend that these issues are irrelevant to the scientific ones, but that one must proceed with…
Deviance: A polymorphous concept
The concept of deviance is obscured because of the confusion between two types of definitions, one that describes the boundaries in general terms, and the other that cites examples. Of the former, there is little dispute. But the latter involves changes over time, within different societies, the degree of negative reaction invoked, and other factors. For the latter type of definition, the societal reaction approach is said to be not only useful, …
Political deviance and the assumption of responsibility
Political deviance is a broad concept, less frequently invoked than the concept of political crime. It can be perpetrated by those in power, in the name of the state or individually, or by those struggling to effect social change. The focus on the latter brings to the fore two types of movements, terrorism and civil disobedience, with their partial similarities in goals and their apparent dissimilarities in the means employed to achieve these goa…

Responsibility and Crime in Literature
Accountability for one's actions has been a major theme that literary artists have grappled with over the centuries. Among the works in which it plays a significant role, and which are here analyzed, are the Oedipus trilogy, Hamlet, The Brothers Karamazov, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Trial, The Stranger, and three twentieth-century American novels: An American Tragedy, Light in August, and Native Son. Insights into the dark recesses of the human…
Positive deviance: An oxymoron
By general agreement among sociologists and other specialists, and by speakers of the English language, deviance refers to rule‐breaking and other nonconformity which is viewed in the society in a negative way, and hence reacted to with scorn, hostility, punishment, or an effort to effectuate change. Deviance is a special type of deviation, but the two terms are not interchangeable. The concept of "positive deviance" is and should remain an oxymo…

The study of deviance: Where do we go from here
In a commentary on Meier, the authors suggest that the study of deviance is a highly prized specialty within sociology, that there is general agreement on definitions of deviance, and that such definition should consider degrees of social hostility and other factors that Gibbs calls “normative properties.” Meier's proposals for the measurement of norms and their violations are considered and found to have potential for the discipline although the…

The Egghead, the Flatfoot, and the Screw: Some Reflections on the Future of the American Society of Criminology
The growth of the American Society of Criminology has strengthened it not only in numbers but by the active participation of leading criminologists. Practitioners entering the ranks of the organization offer an opportunity for collegial interaction of social scientists with police, correctional, and other personnel. This association may be mutually beneficial, but it may also result in faction‐ridden organizations whose facades of dialogue concea…

Deviance and Social Change
Deviance without deviants: The temporal quality of patterned behavior1
Social scientists oriented toward labeling have argued that there are unfortunate consequences, in the form of self‐fulfilling prophesies or secondary deviance, of placing people into a deviant category and giving them the label associated with that grouping. This paper proposes that such a process of categorization is inaccurate because it transforms activity into identity. Identity suggests permanence, whereas activity suggests voluntarism, res…

Incest: Problems of definition and frequency
Research into factors pertinent to incest is hampered and confused as a result of lacking clear‐cut definitions. A distinction is made here between consanguine and affinal relationships, and it is suggested that biological consequences as well as psychological problems allegedly resulting from incest could be more clearly determined, and the effectiveness of the incest taboo, its origin and psychological internalization could be studied more effe…

Taking Stock of Studies of Sex
Scientific studies of sexual behavior have pro liferated during recent decades. One period of research was ushered in by Freud; a second, by Kinsey; and perhaps a third is being innovated by Masters and Johnson. Four major problems, that demand solutions at this stage of research, are cited. They include the ethical problem of the effect of research on the subject, the ideological one of researchers' biases, the social one of the effects of the s…

Sex rearing and sexual orientation: The reconciliation of apparently contradictory data
Psychosexual orientation (postpubertal) is male, and this is of considerable interest, since the sex of rearing in 18 of the [241 affected males was female. Despite this sex of rearing, the affected were able to change gender identity at the time of puberty. They consider themselves males and have a libido directed toward the opposite sex. Thus, male sex drive appears to be testosterone related and not dihydrotestosterone related (Baum and Vreebu…

Homosexuality as a social movement: First reports from the barricades
The new militant homosexual movement had predecessors in Germany and England, as well as less militant forerunners in the United States. From this social movement, five works of participants and activists are examined. All are self‐serving and hence must be viewed with skepticism, as the ideoloigcal presentation of a viewpoint that is seeking acceptance. Nonetheless, they are a treasurehouse of information. They reflect many psychological difficu…

Transsexuals in a formal organizational setting
Although there is a growing literature and a great deal of interest in the transsexual, little has been written of his behavior in a group setting. Nevertheless, the transsexuals have made at least one serious effort to solve their problems by banding together in a formal or structured voluntary association. This effort may be explained by several factors: first, they are seeking a goal and they have a view in mind that organizational effort may …
