Description

Howard S. Becker's Outsiders is a groundbreaking sociology text that revolutionized the study of social deviance in the early 1960s. The book's ideas and problems continue to inspire research internationally.

Becker's Outsiders includes two lengthy essays that add fresh material for thought and discussion. "Why Was Outsiders a Hit? Why Is It Still a Hit?" explores the historical background that made the book relevant to a new generation coming of age in the 1960s, while "Why I Should Get No Credit For Legalizing Marijuana" examines the road to decriminalization and presents new ideas for the sociological study of public opinion.

This new edition features two previously unpublished essays, offering a unique insight into Becker's work and its enduring relevance today.
