Conduct Sociology and Social Worlds

"This book offers perspective on how individual behaviour is ordered in social worlds. Through an examination of topics such as self-service shopping, personal finance, drunkenness, crime and extreme situations of violence, it explores how forms of individual conduct are tied to particular social worlds. As fundamental questions about the social character of both mundane and exceptional conduct continue to challenge social norms, this book shows that sociology can clarify the ways individuals learn to act and the tools and props they use to help them."--BOOK JACKET.
