This paper presents and analyses various cases of deviance in science. The paper also examines those aspects of the structure and process of “doing science” which are conducive to deviance. The major conclusion is that deviance in science is badly represented by the old “bad apples” theory and that the “iceberg theory” probably describes this phenomenon more accurately, thus calling for a new criminology of science. The analysis details types of deviance in science, its scope and compares it to other forms of deviance. It is argued that Matza's control theory should be used to understand and interpret the puzzle of deviance in science
