Crime and Deviance Essays and Innovations of

Crime and Deviance brings together the important essays and previously unpublished writings of Edwin M. Lemert. It is virtually impossible to discuss crime and lesser forms of social deviance without using language Lemert introduced into scientific and popular vocabularies. Crime and Deviance presents for the first time an important body of Professor Lemert's unpublished work. It thus allows rare insight into his constantly changing thought, which is as fresh today as ever.
